BLESS’ED FRIEND OF SINNERS!
“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” Hebrews 8:12- Bless’ed mercy! Covenant mercy! The Holy God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ made an everlasting covenant with Jesus on behalf of a people. Oh yes, I am the “chief of sinners” in breach of a holy angry law which accuses my soul of violation. It was for sinners of the deepest dye that redemption was consummated on the cross. He was accused by the self-righteous of being a friend of sinners. O bless’ed Friend of sinners is Jesus indeed, and such a Friend we need. He is “holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens” (Hebrews 7:26). Think of His character as the meek and lowly Savior. Little children loved Him, He called them and they willingly came, for He was meek and lowly of heart. Sinner, could He refuse you? Do you think He could give you a hard word and send you on your way if you were to seek mercy today? It is not in the nature of Him, who was both the Son of God and son of Man, ever to repel a heart that would cling to Him. Have you ever heard of His acting harshly to a sinner who came to Him? David cried in Psalm 6, “My soul is sore vexed, deliver my soul.” Casting himself upon the Lord he said, “The Lord hath heard my cry.” He will do the same for you. You have no right to think of His rejecting you if you come to Him. Think of His life, He was “separate from sinners,” yet it is said of Him “this man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.” “Friend of sinners” was His name, and still is. His was a self-denying life spent among the sick and the sinful. The light of grace is focused on His death, and it concentrates that light of Christ’s love upon the sinner. He agonized in the garden for the sins that were not His own. He was scourged for transgressions in which He had no share; He bled and died on the tree for His enemies. He suffered for iniquities that He never participated in, for in Him was no sin. It must be true that God can save me, the guilty sinner, if Christ has indeed died in my stead. When I see the incarnate God suffering for the guilty, the just for the unjust to bring them to God, I cannot but believe that I have found this blessed Friend of sinners. ~~WTW “I’ve found a Friend, Oh such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew Him. He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him; And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which nought can sever, For I am His and He is mine, Forever and forever.”
