What a sight! By David Harsher,
Christ crucified. The death of Christ was the most
affecting and solemn scene ever presented to the view of men
or angels. What a sight! To see Christ on
the cross bleeding for sinners. How astonishing! To see the King
of glory, whom all the angels of heaven worship and adore,
bow his head in death. Earth never before witnessed
such a sight. Heaven never before looked upon
such a scene. O my soul, draw near and contemplate
it. Look towards Calvary with the
cross erected in your view, and behold the Son of God nailed
to the accursed tree, His blessed hands and side and feet pierced. his blood streaming from every
pore, until pallid death sits upon his heavenly brow, and he
cries, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
