Consider what Christ did for you. He undertook for you in the covenant of peace, Psal. xl. 7. He took on your nature, and was born in a low condition; for, Is. ix. 6. "Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, whose name is Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, and the Prince of peace." He obeyed for your rebellion, and died for your sins: he was pursued by justice for your debts, from his birth to his grave: he had not a hole to lay his head in, while he lived, nor a bed to lie in, when he died; and therefore he climbed up upon the cross, and died upon a tree. The sour tree of the cross was his dead-bed; here he made his last-will, and left his heart and tender love, mercy and peace, grace and glory, in a testamentary dispensation to such wretched sinners as you are.
