In his death Jesus demonstrated God’s love for us in the fullest possible way,
achieved total victory over evil, and made our salvation possible. 

He was not merely a good man who died as an example of virtue or meekness;
he was the perfect God who took our burdens of sin and guilt and made them his burden. 

His death was not an example to inspire us but a sacrifice to save us!

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, 
Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8).

With a weak faith and a fearful heart, many a sinner stands before the Lord.
It is not the strength of our faith, but the perfection of Christ’s sacrifice that saves!

No feebleness of faith, nor dimness of eye, no trembling of hand can change the efficacy of Christ’s blood.

The strength of our faith can add nothing to it, nor can the weakness of our faith take anything from Him.
Faith (weak or strong) still reads the promise, “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

If at times my eye is so dim that I cannot read these words, through blinding tears or bewildering trials,
faith rests itself on the certain knowledge of the fact that THE PROMISE IS THERE,
and the blood of Christ remains in all its power and suitableness upon the altar, unchanged and unaffected.
