The death and passion of our Lord is the gentlest and at the same time the strongest motive that can animate our hearts in this mortal life, And it is quite true that the mystical bees make their most excellent honey in the wounds of the lion of the tribe of Judah who was killed, chattered, and rent on Mount Calvary. Saint Francis de Sales.

You, oh Lord, must preserve me and keep my soul. Mighty God, I know and rejoice that my position before you is certain because it is based on the efficacy of the merit of Christ, the intercession of Christ, the oath of God, the abiding of the spirit, and the covenant of grace. Amen. London Baptist Confession of Faith.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9.
