So, had one of those angels by David
Harsher from the death of Christ Christ died for the ungodly Romans
chapter 5 verse 6 Oh the dying love of the Savior if we would
learn something of the vastness of redeeming love we must consider
the character and dignity of him by whom it was manifested
Had one of those holy angels, who minister in the presence
of God, clothed himself with garments of humanity, and amid
the most intense and indescribable sufferings, finished his earthly
course on a cross, for the purpose of redeeming a race of sinners
from everlasting destruction, How immeasurable would have been
the benevolence displayed in such a condescending act! It
must have filled us with amazement and excited the strongest feelings
of gratitude. but how should we express our
admiration and praise when we see him whom seraphim adore stooping
from heaven to earth to encircle vile sinners in the arms of his
mercy when we see him who is infinite in power and majesty
and riches and glory voluntarily placing himself in the room of
rebels on earth when we see Jesus, the brightness of his Father's
glory stretched upon the cross, wracked with the most intense
pain of body and soul, and suffering for sins, the just for the unjust,
that he might bring us to God. How amazing that He, who by His
infinite power could have at once annihilated our rebellious
race, or consigned us to everlasting punishment, should for a season
divest Himself of His heavenly glory. Visit rebellious earth,
stoop so low in humiliation, become so poor, suffer so much,
endure such a shameful painful and accursed death for the purpose
of making vile sinners eternally rich holy and happy in the paradise
of God May you have the power to understand, as all God's people
should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of
Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Ephesians
chapter 3 verses 18 and 19 you
