Some fix their eyes so much upon the atonement of the cross, as to be blind to the example of it; others so much upon the example, as to undervalue the atonement of it. It is a happy art, and the Christian's work to avoid both extremes; for my own part, I find I am more willing that Christ should take me unto himself for the communication of his benefits, than I am to take him into my heart with his pure commands, strict discipline, self-denial, and suffering spirit.
