Day 39
Read: Matthew 27:36—50
God has two ways: the way of holiness and the
way of love.
God meets sin through the way of
holiness. God
meets the sinner through the way
of love.
Since the sinner
and his sin are bound together,
the sinner can
only find God when he arrives at
the place where
God’s two ways meet.
God’s holiness
and His love come together on
Calvary.
Here you see how God deals with your
sin: He lifts up the knife against
it and withdraws from it. My God,
my God, why hast Thou forsaken “
Here you see how much God loves you.
He
lays your sin on His beloved Son,
because it’s the only way He can
deliver you from certain Hell.
If you are seeking
God, draw near to Calvary.
Look well.
Look long.
Look
until the Spirit has imparted
to you its real meaning and its
mighty power.
Never let a day
of your life go by without looking
afresh at your dying Lord.
There is your daily escape from sin,
death and the power of Satan,
There alone is your perfect peace with God.
