A Foolish question has been asked, "What righteousness is there in an innocent being suffering for the guilty ? " It is a foolish question. There is no righteousness in my paying my friend's debts. It is kindness, love; but it meets the righteous claims of his creditor. The claims of a holy God are maintained-intolerance of evil; and that is of the last importance for the conscience and heart of man; it gives him the knowledge of what God is in holiness. There is no true love without it. Indifference to good and evil, so that the evil-doer is let pass with his evil, is not love, and the dissociation of right and wrong, by God's authority, the highest possible evil. Now, good and evil are elevated to the standard of it in God's nature. We walk in the light, as God is in the light, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses from all sin. The glory of God is maintained, and the heart of man placed in association with the perfectness of that nature, and in peace with the perfect knowledge of His love. Take away the character of judgment or righteousness exercised as regards evil, and you obliterate the authority of God-the creation-place, and responsibility of man.
