WHEN we (believers) look at the Cross, the “more we weigh it the more we see how perfectly God has been glorified. I own that my sins brought Him there. The only part I had in the cross was the sins that brought Christ there, and the hatred that put Him to death.
If it humbles me in the dust all the better, the work is divinely perfect between Christ and God about these sins. The wrath was such that even in the thought of bearing it He sweat great drops of blood, and while it bows my heart and my conscience, I find that God has already dealt with the sins in the grace that put all away, before ever I come to the day of judgment.
