2. The special reference to Christ's work.

That work is the exhibition in manhood and to men of a perfect

righteousness.

It is the implanting in the corrupt world of a new beginning. It is the

clothing us with Christ's righteousness, for which we are forgiven and

in which we are sanctified.

So Christ's work is God's coming to bring near His righteousness, and

now 'it is nigh thee in thy mouth and in thy heart.'
