He Will Rest In His Love

Love made Him bow His head, and give up the ghost, that He might redeem His people from their sins. Now He is more than conqueror—He rises to heaven, and He rests in His love! Oh, what a wondrous
rest that is! If rest is sweet to the laboring man, how much sweeter to the bleeding Man, the dying Man, the crucified Man, the risen Man? If rest is sweet after toil, how sweet must be the rest of Jesus after all
the toils of life and death, the cross, and the grave! If victory makes the soldier's return joyous, how joyous must have been the return of that conquering Hero who has led captivity captive, and received gifts
for men! Truly does our Lord Jesus "rest in His love."
