We will adore him, for upon the foundation of his Godhead the whole superstructure of redemption is raised. If he’s not God, his blood is good for nothing; it is the Godhead of Christ that gives efficacy to his blood. Take away the Godhead from Jesus Christ, and make him a mere man, and I couldn’t trust in his blood. And therefore I could not be a New Testament Christian. He was man that he might have blood to shed; he was God that blood might obtain the forgiveness of sins. Join me in saying, with the great prophet Isaiah, “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed.” In the name of the living God, hold closely by the divinity of Jesus Christ our Lord.
