What a blessed nevertheless this is, (verse 33) and how sweetly doth it come in here, to give relief to a poor sin-beaten, tempted, and fallen soul! Though poor and wretched, and wanderers from the Lord, as the best of Christ's children are in themselves, yet in Jesus are they still viewed, and in him, the Beloved, they are accepted. God the Father hath an eye to his covenant engagements, to his word, to his oath, to his own free everlasting love, and to the ransom which he hath received for their redemption from the hands of their blessed Surety. My soul, think of these things; give thyself wholly to the meditation of them. There is everlasting efficacy, everlasting worth and virtue in the blood of the Lamb; and his blood and righteousness plead more for thee than all thy infirmities cry against thee. Oh, precious Jesus! Oh, gracious God and Father in Christ!
