Through
Christ our Saviour, we are led ‘in the way everlasting’: ‘God has given
us eternal life, and this life is in His Son’ (Psalm 139:24; 1 John
5:11). God’s great purpose of eternal salvation seems ‘too wonderful’ -
‘too good to be true’! ‘It is a thing most wonderful, almost too
wonderful to be, that God’s own Son should come from heaven and die to
save a child like me, and yet I know that it is true...’ (Psalm 139:6; Church Hymnary,
385). God has a glorious future planned for us. We can hardly even
begin to take it in: ‘Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty
for me to attain’. We know that ‘no mind has conceived what God has
prepared for those who love Him’ yet we rejoice in this: ‘God has
revealed it to us by His Spirit’ (Psalm 139:6; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10).
‘Lead me in the way everlasting!’(Psalm 139:24).
