away was glorious, much more that which remain- eth is glorious.” II. Cor. iiizg, 10, II.

When Jesus Christ died for our sins he made an end of iniquity, transgression and sin and brought in everlasting righteousness—closed his kingdom of the Mosaic dispensation, which was of this world, and on the day of Pentecost, after he ascended up on high and was glorified, introduced his kingdom of the gospel dispensation which is not of this world, and is not like the former in character, “for the king— dom of God is not meat and drink but righteousnes and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.” “And he said unto them, these are the things which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me.” We require therefore to make ourselves well acquainted with the scriptures of the Old Testament, that we may know all the things that were fulfilled by him when he said on the cross, bowing his head and giving up the ghost, “It is finished,” before we can know those things which decayed, waxed old and vanished away, lest we should still obstinately and' rebelliously cling to those things which ,do not belong to the gospel kingdom, as do the Jews perti- naciously to this day, and‘be found going about to establish our own righteousness, not submitting to the righteousness of God, which is a glorious, dis- tinctive characteristic of Christ’s gospel kingdom, which is not of this world.
