"HE HIMSELF Bore Our Sins In HIS Body On The Tree."

Think of the cross, the nails, 
the open wounds, the anguish 
of HIS soul
(Albert Barnes, 1798-1870)

"For CHRIST died for sins once for all, 
the righteous for the unrighteous, 
to bring you to GOD." 1 Peter 3:18 

I entreat you to devote one solemn 
hour of thought to a crucified SAVIOR--
a SAVIOR expiring in the bitterest agony. 

Think of the cross, the nails, 
the open wounds, the anguish 
of HIS soul. 

Think how the SON of GON became 
a man of sorrows and acquainted 
with grief, that you might live 
in Heaven forever. 

Think as you lie down upon your bed 
to rest, how your SAVIOR was lifted 
up from the earth to die. 

Think amid your plans and anticipations 
of future gaiety, what the redemption 
of your soul has cost, and how the dying 
SAVIOR would wish you to act. HIS wounds 
plead that you will live for better things.

"HE HIMSELF bore our sins in 
HIS body on the tree, so that 
we might die to sins and live 
for righteousness" 1 Peter 2:24
