A Basket of Fragments (1833)
OH, CHRISTIANS, LOVE YOUR DEAR HUSBAND and obey
him at all times and in all places, because he has done much for
you; his groans in the garden on the cold ground, his exclamations
on the cross, my God, my God, show it; much less, look at his
bloody cheeks and face, from the piercing thorns in his mock
crown: see the blood trickling off his elbows from the nails in his
hands; behold the crimson, life giving drops, gently falling from
his heels from the nails in his feet; and above all, only cast up your
eyes to his side and see the red current flowing to the last drop,
mingled with water running down his side, thighs, legs, and see it
fall in a puddle at the foot of the cross.
Look on, gaze, wonder, and adore; love, praise, and give
thanks to God and the Lamb, for such love, such wondrous love
as this, written in blood, groans, agony and death. Here read
your pardon, your peace with God, your satisfaction for sin,
your reconciliation, your atonement to the full; for the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanses from all sin. We have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins; they have washed
their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. He
made peace through the blood of his cross, and by this blood
you that were afar off are made nigh to God. Here in this and
by this man Jesus Christ we have received the atonement, all for
the love he bore his worthless bride; he paid her debts as, says
Paul: who loved me and gave himself for me. |
