You see Jesus presented an offering for sin; and what was it he offered? "Silver and gold he had none," the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of heifers, would not suffice; and these too he had not. But he had blood in his veins, and that shall all go; that he will offer up to save our guilty blood. He had a soul, and that was made an offering for sin. His soul an offering for sin! his pure, spotless soul! his soul that was of more value than the whole universe beside! You may find those that will give a great many things for the deliverance of a friend, but who would give his soul! his soul for his enemies!—this is the peculiar commendation of the love of Jesus.
Samuel Davies — Sermon XXVI, "The Sufferings of Christ, and Their Consequent Joys and Blessings," on Isaiah 53:10-11, in Sermons, vol. 2 (Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1864), p. 12
