The atoning sacrifice of Christ holds up the moral character and government of God to the view of the intelligent system, in a light equally and transcendently awful and amiable. Awful, as it represents him, devoting the favorite of his bosom to the most complicated and unparalleled sufferings, rather than he would shew the least indulgence to sin. Amiable, as it represents this terrible display of justice, to flow, not from any want of tenderness towards the excellent sufferer; for the Saviour himself was at all times the object of his Father's inconceivable affection, and was now doing that, with which he was infinitely well pleased: and the whole scene of his humiliation was also the appointment and fruit of the richest love and compassion in God toward our revolted, miserable race.
