• {It} speaks with perfect assurance of a discriminative judgment where every single work, yes, “secret thing,” shall be shown out in its true character as it is good or evil in His holy sight: where everything that is wrong and distorted here shall be put right. (“Ecclesiastes 12” by F.C. Jennings)
• Meditate on the scene at this last verse in the only book in our Bible in which man at his best and highest, in his richest and wisest, is heard telling us his exercises as he looks at this tangled state of affairs “under the sun” and gives us to see, as nowhere else can we see, the very utmost limit to which he, as such, can attain. If this sinks down into our hearts, we shall be the better prepared to apprehend and appreciate the grace that meets him there at the edge of that precipice to which Reason leads but which she cannot bridge. (“Ecclesiastes 12” by F.C. Jennings)
• Even the deepest, most awful terror of all to sinners such as we ―the Judgment-seat―has given us new cause for still more joyful singing; for we have in that pure clear light recognized in God―our Creator-God, our Redeemer-God―a love so full, so true―working with a wisdom so infinite, so pure―in perfect harmony with a righteousness so unbending, so inflexible, with a holiness not to be flecked or tarnished by a breath―all combining to put us at joyful ease in the very presence of judgment―to find there, as nowhere else possible, all that is in God in His infinity told out, (“love with us made perfect,”) and that means that all the creatures’ responsive love must find sweet relief in a song that it will take eternity itself to end. (“Ecclesiastes 12” by F.C. Jennings)
