Justice sheaths its avenging sword in His heart!<\/p>\n
(Henry Law, \u201cGleanings from the Book of Life\u201d)<\/p>\n
\u201cGod made Him who had no sin to be sin
\nfor us, so that in Him we might become
\nthe righteousness of God.\u201d\u00a02 Cor. 5:21<\/p>\n
It is a comforting thought, that the sins thus
\nremoved from the guilty and transferred to the
\nguiltless, leave the real transgressor relieved
\nfrom the weight of evil.<\/p>\n
Thus unrighteousness is removed.<\/p>\n
Jesus thus laden with iniquities, endures
\nall that sin merits and the law denounces.<\/p>\n
He approaches the altar of the Cross.<\/p>\n
He there presents Himself the willing victim.<\/p>\n
He there lays down His life, the all sufficient sacrifice.<\/p>\n
He there sheds His blood, worthy to make atonement.<\/p>\n
Wrath pours out on Him all its vials.<\/p>\n
Justice sheaths its avenging sword in His heart!<\/p>\n
The law pours on His head its total curse.<\/p>\n
He endures to the uttermost all that justice required.<\/p>\n
Where now are the believer\u2019s sins?<\/p>\n
That which is blotted out can no more be found.<\/p>\n
None who are washed in His most precious blood
\ncan be borne off to hell. Satan can offer no charge
\nagainst those on whom no sin is found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
