Ed 69
(Education 69)
The greatness of Egypt is in the dust. Its power and civilization have passed away. But the work of Moses can never perish. The great principles of righteousness which he lived to establish are eternal. (Ed 69.1) MC VC
Moses’ life of toil and heart-burdening care was irradiated with the presence of Him who is “the chiefest among ten thousand,”(Song of Solomon 5:10) and the One “altogether lovely.” Song of Solomon 5:16. With Christ in the wilderness wandering, with Christ on the mount of transfiguration, with Christ in the heavenly courts—his was a life on earth blessing and blessed, and in heaven honored. (Ed 69.2) MC VC
Paul also in his manifold labors was upheld by the sustaining power of His presence. “I can do all things,” he said, “through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing (Rotherham’s translation), shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:35-39. (Ed 69.3) MC VC
