Lamentation And Jubilation*

* This is a translation of a Dutch-language meditation from the pen of the late Rev. Hoeksema. It is taken from Vol. 4, p. 49, Nov. 1, 1927. HCH O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 7:24, 25 Lamenting and rejoicing! Singing through our tears! Wrestling in fearful battle, and in the heat of the fight shouting for joy about the sure victory! Wondrous paradox! Strange, almost irreconcilable contrast!...
