“If today you feel that sin is hateful to you, believe in Him who has said, ‘It is finished.’ Let me link your hand in mine. Let us come together, both of us, and say, ‘Here are two poor naked souls, good Lord; we cannot clothe ourselves,’ and He will give us a robe, for ‘it is finished.’ . . . ‘But must we not add tears to it?’ ‘No,’ says He, ‘no, it is finished, there is enough.’
Child of God, will you have Christ’s finished righteousness this morning, and will you rejoice in it more than you ever have before?”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Treasury of the New Testament (Grand Rapids, 1950), II:675. Style updated.
Through the night my soul longs for you. Deep from within me my spirit reach out to you. Isaiah 26 (The Message)
