WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES!

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES!

Recall with me again these words in Daniel 5:24-28, “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN”? The interpretation was “MENE, God has numbered your (Belshazzar’s) kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES, (a simple form of the word Upharsin), your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”
Let me take the interpretation for TEKEL and make an application. “You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.” God has, long ago, passed judgment on Adam, the head and representative, and found in him his entire posterity ‘wanting”. God placed the original pair, adorned in their lovely garb of freshly cut ‘fig leaves’, into the pan on the one side, the freshly broken law on the other side; and the balance was overwhelmingly tilted in favor of the Holy Law and against our federal head.
There is coming another ‘weighing’ day which the scripture terms the day of final judgment. All of Adam’s descendants will be present for their individual weighing. Let’s imagine that we are, one by one, placed into the scale. Now the holy and just law is placed into the other side of the scale over against us. The weight of the law is so extreme against us that it tilts the balances with such force that we are flung into ‘outer darkness’.
Suppose we could remove part of the law from the scale, let’s remove one commandment; for example, “Thou shall not covet.” Would that help balance the scale? Let us go to the extreme and remove nine of the commandments, leaving only one. The scale is yet overbalanced and registers, ‘guilty, guilty, guilty!’
Now in our scales let us place all our good deeds and religious works, our works of prayers and devotions, perfect church attendance records, our preaching and teaching ministries. The balance still doesn’t move! Now let’s take all of that garbage out of the pan, and let Christ place on us the robe of His perfect spotless righteousness which He earned for His people. On the other side place all the law, the moral and ceremonial, and all the multiplied precepts and statutes. Now look, a perfect balance!
Those who stand in the judgment of the last day must hope to stand in Christ’s righteousness alone. Those who stand in His sinless, unblemished righteousness will not be found wanting. Toplady writes --

A DEBTOR to mercy alone, / Of covenant mercy I sing;
Nor fear, with thy RIGHTEOUSNESS on,
My person and offerings to bring

The terrors of law and of God / With me can have nothing to do;
My Saviour’s obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view.
