“Now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” (Hebrews 9:26)

These rich words still follow me. That word “sin” feels weighty to a sensible sinner. But oh! That word “Himself!” seems a million times weightier! “Himself!” the Mighty God, the Precious Man Christ Jesus! “Himself!” by Whom all things were created, and for Whom they exist! “Himself!” Whose smile is heaven, Whose frown is hell! “Himself!” Whom all angels worship, and all devils obey! “Himself!” the Sacrifice! Another such Sacrifice could not be found! Sins deep as hell and high as heaven cannot overmatch it, for it is infinite! Sins of scarlet and crimson dye cannot resist its power, for it makes them whiter than snow!
