Do I seek for consolation under the charges of an accusing conscience, I see in Jesus, and in him crucified, the conciliator for all my iniquities. Do the chastisements which I have deserved through my transgressions make me fearful, the cross of Christ proclaims to me, that he has borne my griefs and carried my sorrows, that he has been wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities. Does the curse of the law terrify me, I can look up, in the fulness of faith, with affiance to him, who, for me, became a curse, as it were, on the cross, and thus not only freed me from the curse itself, but obtained for me the most glorious and inestimable of all blessings.
