The Great Substitute

April 1, 2010 by Christina

“The curse of God is not easily taken away; in fact, there was but one method whereby it could be removed. The lightnings were in God’s hand; they must be launched; he said they must. The sword was unsheathed; it must be satisfied; God vowed it must. How, then, was the sinner to be saved? The only answer was this. The Son of God appears; and he says, “Father! launch thy thunderbolts at me; here is my breast—plunge that sword in here; here are my shoulders—let the lash of vengeance fall on them;” and Christ, the Substitute, came forth and stood for us, “the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.”

– Charles Spurgeon, “The Curse Removed!”

    That was INCREDIBLE. I never cease to find reasons to keep adoring Him.

    Me neither, Martha! And to think, we are only scratching the surface when it comes to understanding this great salvation of ours. God bless you today my sister!

    Oh Christiana, it just seems nearly impossible to really wrap our limited earthly minds around these incredible truths! I’m so looking forward to Heaven where we will fully comprehend these things-

    ” For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face.” I Cor 13:12

    God bless you with a wonderful day!

    Thank you Diane! I am looking forward to heaven too — when all of these wonderful things, that we only catch glimpses of now, are made clear! We will give Him glory!
