Today’s Quote
Seeing Christ as our atoning sacrifice stirs reverence and love in our souls.
— Charles Spurgeon
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
When the soul is led by the Holy Spirit to clearly see Jesus in His various roles, how quickly the heart is set ablaze with love! To see Him stepping down from His throne to become human, then enduring suffering to become our compassionate friend, and finally bowing to death to become our ransom, is
enough to stir every passion of the soul. To see Him by faith as the atoning sacrifice for sin, sprinkling His own blood in the holy place, and nailing our sins to His cross is a vision that never fails to inspire reverent yet ecstatic admiration.
