Hebrews 2:10
In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.
A sublime paradox. A great crime; a great love. The world’s worst; heaven’s best.
Could any but a crucified Savior reveal our sins? Whenever you feel tempted to feel that it’s only a “white lie,” whenever you are greedy, slanderous, selfish…look at the cross.
Could any but a crucified Savior save us from our sins? Without the shedding of blood there is no remission. It is death that gives life. The New Testament has the atonement–but not an explanation.
Could any but a crucified Savior meet us in our agony? If I had no crucified Savior with which to greet those who had been broken by the tragedies of life I would not know what to say and even do for my own sake. Those pierced hands says, “I have suffered.”
