How many are mine iniquities and sins?
Job 13:23
Have you ever really weighed
and considered how great the sin of God's people is?
Think how heinous is your own transgression,
and you will
find that not only
does a sin here and there tower up like an alp,
but
that your iniquities are heaped upon each other,
And yet He takes upon Himself the form of a servant,
and is scourged and pierced,
bruised and torn,
and at last slain;
since nothing but the blood of the incarnate Son of God
could make atonement for our offences.
No human mind can adequately estimate
the infinite value of the divine sacrifice,
for great as is the sin of God's people,
the atonement which
takes it away is immeasurably greater.
Charles Spurgeon
