Jesus Christ knew what was in man: he knew every disease of his soul, under whatever name it might be called: he was well acquainted with the nature and malignity of sin. Being the Searcher of hearts, he examines the case to the bottom, and brings to light the hidden things of darkness. The remedies necessary to effect a cure are wholly in himself: “The blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, cleanseth us from all sin.” This is a remedy of sovereign efficacy; of infinite virtue; because it is blood divine; the blood of God; of more value than all the blood that ever was, or can be created.
John Meldrum — John Meldrum, The Incarnation of the Son of God Illustrated, vol. I (London: Williams and Smith, 1807), Part First, Discourse VIII, "The Offices of the Incarnate Saviour Necessary to Effect the Destruction of Sin and Misery," p. 120
