Let this one great gracious glorious fact lie in your spirit till it perfumes all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Seeing the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song. Yea, He has become your salvation. According to the Scriptures, it is a revealed fact that in due time, Christ died for the ungodly when they were yet without strength. You have heard these words hundreds of times maybe, and yet you have never before perceived their meaning. There is a cheering savor about them, is there not? Jesus did not die for our righteousness, but He died for our sins. He did not come to save us because we were worth the saving, but because we were utterly worthless, ruined, and undone. He came not to earth out of any reason that was in us, but solely and only out of reasons which He fetched from the depths of his own divine love. In due time, he died for those whom he describes not as godly, but as ungodly. If you have but little mind, yet fasten it to this truth, which which is fitted to the smallest capacity and is able to cheer the heaviest heart. Let this text lie under your tongue like a sweet morsel till it dissolves into your heart and flavors all your thoughts. And then it will little matter though those thoughts should be as scattered as autumn leaves. Persons who have never shown in science nor displayed the least originality of mind have nevertheless been fully able to accept the doctrine of the cross and have been saved thereby. Why should not you? Charles Spurgeon.
