The Agony That Delivers!
The agony of Calvary, of Golgotha, is Christ experiencing the miseries of Hell for ever for our sins. No one has ever suffered like that man. No, not even the worst sinner in Hell feeling the excruciating pains for eternity. The problem is not in the quantity; it is in the quality. Stark, wretched, traumatized, distressed to the nth degree, we behold the only anguish that can satify the claims of perfect justice, giving complete satisfaction to all righteous and judicious claims. No wonder He cried, “Finished!” No wonder relief comes to the elect with joy as it does to all of the denizens of Heaven. For what is seen is the payment more than sufficient to meet the just demands. Behold the God who wrought such a wonder, so adored for all eternity, an invitation to all sinners to Excelsis Deo?
