Jesus died for me<\/span><\/em><\/p>

If the higher the development of the physical organism, the greater the capacity for pain, then the higher the development of the moral character, the greater the capacity for soul-suffering.
<\/span><\/p>


Have you ever heard of a venerable old gentleman, justly proud of his honoured name \u2013 a man who would sooner lose his right hand than use it to do a dishonourable deed? His son and heir go astray from the paths of virtue and in a drunken brawl murders someone. And the old man walks no more erect, his head is bowed in shame, and soon his soul-suffering brings his grey hairs in sorrow to the grave.
<\/span><\/p>


If that be possible (and it is possible even for us to feel the disgrace of a greater sin than we are used to), think what sin must be like in all its awfulness to an absolutely holy God! Now we understand why, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ turns in loathing from sin and cries in agony of soul, \u201cO my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt\u201d (Matthew 26:39). Yet in spite of that agonised plea from Gethsemane, \u201cGod so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son\u201d to be \u201cmade sin\u201d for us \u2013 \u201cthat whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life\u201d (John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
<\/span><\/p>


Herein is the mystery of redemption, that God the Father made His only begotten Son \u201cto be sin for us, who (Jesus Christ) knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.\u201d Look then to the Saviour bearing your sins on the cross, and in faith receive His perfect righteousness. \u201cNothing in my hands I bring. Simply to Thy cross I cling.\u201d
<\/span><\/p>


Thought: Jesus loves me with His life, not just with words.
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for Your garment of righteousness.<\/i><\/span><\/p>
