'In that day,' the day when 'the crown of pride shall be trodden under
foot,' the people of God are crowned with the diadem of beauty which is
God Himself. That twofold work of that one day suggests--
The double aspect of trials and sorrows.
The double aspect of death.
The double aspect of final Judgment.
'Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day.'
To be crowned or discrowned 'in that day' is the alternative set before
each of us. Which of the two do we choose?
