In One Blaze of Glory
Reflect on these words about the passion of the Lord Jesus:
O heart of God, I see you nowhere as at Golgotha, where the Word incarnate reveals the justice and the love, the holiness and the tenderness of God in one blaze of glory. If any created mind would fain see the glory of God, he need not gaze upon the starry skies, nor soar into the heaven of heavens, he has but to bow at the cross foot and watch the crimson streams which gush from Immanuel's wounds.
If you would behold the glory of God, you need not gaze between the gates of pearl, you have but to look beyond the gates of Jerusalem and see the Prince of Peace expire. If you would receive the noblest conception that ever filled the human mind of the lovingkindness and the greatness and the pity, and yet the justice and the severity and the wrath of God….you have but to look into the heart of the Messiah all crushed and broken and bruised, and you have seen it all.
