Now it is in the cross of Christ, and nowhere else, that the conscience clearly perceives the true nature, holiness, and inflexibility of Divine law. In the universe reason and experience teach that natural law is an omnipotent and unchangeable thing; and conscience, looking at the cross, perceives the same of moral law. Natural law cannot be violated with impunity, and in the face of a suffering Saviour we see that this is no less true of moral law. Christ came here to be the sinner’s substitute, to stand in the eye of law in the room and place of transgressors. He became one with them actually, as he was secretly and in Divine purpose constituted one with them federally.
