HE HATH DONE ALL THINGS WELL.

June 6

 

Mark 7:37 And were beyond measure

 astonished, saying, He hath done all 

things well: he maketh both the deaf to 

hear, and the dumb to speak.

 

This was the testimony of the multitude concerning Jesus, He did many things, but He did everything well.

 

Cannot we bear the same testimony this morning?

 

He called us by His grace, and when we reflect upon the means, the manner, and the period, must we not say, “He did it well?”

 

He has tried us in many ways; but when we think of His design, the mercies He mingled with the afflictions, and deliverance He granted us out of them, must we not say, “He hath done all things well?“

 

If we look back, and see Him standing forward as our SURETY with the Father in eternity; or if we behold Him taking our nature, bearing our sins, procuring our righteousness, and sending His Holy Spirit to sanctify and save us; must we not say, “He hath done all things well?”

 

And when our mansions are prepared, our bodies raised from the grave, and our persons are perfectly conformed to His image; when we hear Him say, “Come, inherit the kingdom;” oh, with what rapture, gratitude, and love shall we shout, “HE HATH DONE ALL THINGS WELL !”

 

How is sovereign, wonderful, and free,

Is all His love to sinful me;

He pluck’d me as a brand from hell ! -

My Jesus hath done all things well.

 

And since my soul has known His love,

What mercies has He made me prove;

Mercies which all my praise excel -

My Jesus hath done all things well.
