AUGUST 22 EVENING

God gave Solomon . . . largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.—I KGS. 4:29.

Behold, a greater than Solomon is here.—The Prince of Peace.

Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.—Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.—The love of Christ passeth knowledge.

Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.—In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.—The unsearchable riches of Christ.—Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
