meditate on Christ nailed to the cross by His hands and feet, set
forth as a spectacle to the whole world.—Luke xxiii. 33. Behold, O
man, thy Redeemer! With what affection hast thou hitherto embraced
Him, Who here, with extended arms, invites thee to His embrace?
_Affections._
“My Beloved to me, and I to Him.”—Cant. ii. 16.
“Tell Him that I languish with love.”—Ibid. v. 8.
“Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation? or
distress, or famine?... For I am sure that neither death, nor life, ...
nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.”—Rom. viii. 35‐39.
