1st John 2:2. “And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.”
THE PROPITIATION. Lest I for some unknown reason, think that sin is not so bad – It is well that week by week I am committed to go To the “place of remembrance” where with thoughts both glad and sad – I am brought to consider again that He who every sin did know Without hesitation gave for us, everything that He had – And in the way He chose, we can His propitiation show.
The demands of justice that claim the soul of every sinful man – Have been met by the only One who could those demands meet. Jesus Christ the Son of God, could turn aside that just wrath – And did, when on the cross nailed there by His hands and feet He gave His life as the propitiation meeting every demand – So every one can be accepted who “find” when with the heart they seek.
Punishment for sin has been removed in a just and righteous way. The sacrifice of Christ has met all of God’s righteous claims. No other person or way could the price of sin fully pay – All power and authority in heaven and earth is in Jesus’ name, And through His propitiation, He God’s righteous wrath did allay – For us the propitiation is accepted when He for us mercy attained.
“I rest in my Lord Jesus Christ, Father, knowing that He has accomplished on my behalf what would never have been possible in any other way. I thank Thee for the justice and full accomplishment that His sacrifice has made. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
