C.H. Spurgeon – All of Grace


Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold
the wonder! There He hangs upon the cross! This is the
greatest sight you will ever see. Son of God and Son of Man,
there He hangs, bearing pains unutterable, the just for the
unjust, to bring us to God. Oh, the glory of that sight! The
innocent punished! The Holy One condemned! The Everblessed
made a curse! The infinitely glorious put to a
shameful death! The more I look at the sufferings of the Son
of God, the more sure I am that they must meet my case.
Why did He suffer, if not to turn aside the penalty from us?
If, then, He turned it aside by His death, it is turned aside,
and those who believe in Him need not fear it. It must be so,
that since expiation is made, God is able to forgive without
shaking the basis of His throne, or in the least degree blotting
the statute book. Conscience gets a full answer to her
tremendous question. The wrath of God against iniquity,
whatever that may be, must be beyond all conception terrible.
Well did Moses say, “Who knoweth the power of thine
anger?” Yet when we hear the Lord of glory cry, “Why hast
thou forsaken me?” and see Him yielding up the ghost, we
feel that the justice of God has received abundant vindication
by obedience so perfect and death so terrible, rendered by so
divine a person. If God himself bows before His own law,
what more can be done? There is more in the atonement by
way of merit, than there is in all human sin by way of demerit.
