Psalms 111:3. His work -
I suppose the psalmist means God’s chief work, his grand work of grace: "His work" -
Psalms 111:3. Is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
The work of God is full of grace, and it is full of honour and glory to his blessed name; and every single portion of the work of grace is full of that which resounds to the honour and glory of the Triune Jehovah. I hope, dear friends, that you delight to study the whole plan of saving mercy, from its initiation in the eternal purpose to its culmination in the gathering together of all the people of God. If you do, you will see that all through it "is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever." As it endured Calvary, it may well endure for ever. Though the Lord Jesus Christ purposed so to save his people, he would not do it by sacrificing his righteousness. He fulfilled righteousness to the utmost, by his perfect life, and by his suffering even unto death, and, now, we are quite sure that no further strain will ever be put upon that divine attribute. "His righteousness endureth for ever."
