“Why
do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and
the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His Anointed
(i.e. Christ)” (Psalm 2:1,2). “To whom He
said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to
rest; and this is the
refreshing: yet they would not hear… Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold,
I lay in Zion for a Foundation a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Corner Stone, a sure Foundation: he that
believeth shall not make haste (i.e., shall be safe)” (Isaiah 28:12-16).
Why
would kings and nations rage
Against
our Savior Jesus Christ?
We
see it in this present age
And
when our Lord was sacrificed.
But
God will yet extend His rest
To
every weary soul He wins.
In
Christ the Lord we are refreshed,
Who
cleanses us from all our sins.
The
Gospel message is so plain
Which
many still refuse to hear!
Shall
not we count the lost insane
In
view of judgment drawing near?
There
is a sure Foundation Stone:
His
name is Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our
rest is found in Him alone,
Where
we have fled from judgment’s sword.
How
solid is this sure Foundation
Where
we may rest with certainty.
In
Christ the Lord we have salvation
That’s
settled for eternity!
O
Lord, we thank You for the grace
Which
took away our sin and shame,
That
You might be the Resting Place
Of
all who call upon Your name.
