A man whom I met casually one day told me how he got peace with God. For years his wife, a Christian, took him here and there to hear the gospel preached. He knew the plan of salvation well; and being afraid to die in his sins, he became increasingly anxious to have peace with God.
“About three months ago," he said, "I stayed behind at the close of a gospel meeting, and told the preacher what I wanted.”
The preacher asked him: "Did the Lord Jesus die for you?”
“Yes, I believe that," he answered.
“And was He raised for you?”
"Yes," he replied.
“What more do you want?" was the preacher's earnest question. At once the scales fell from his eyes. He appropriated to himself the blessing by faith, and he went away rejoicing in salvation.
The Lord Jesus Christ had died for him, and was raised for him: What more did he want? Surely nothing!
And what more do you want, anxious reader? And what more can you have? Surely nothing.
Christ is the figure that makes the cypher (ourselves) of value.
