Once, it is said, a Scottish preacher of the modern school closed a sermon with these words:
"Virtue is so
attractive that if she was to become incarnate & walk the world in human
form, men would fall down & worship her."
The pulpit of that church was occupied the same evening by a
different type of preacher, a humble evangelical man, and at the close of his
discourse reminded the congregation of the statement made in the morning by the
senior preacher & then added:
"I am very sorry to say that Virtue did once walk the
world in human form, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, and men, instead
of falling down & worshiping Him, nailed Him to a cross."

poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God’s goodness into us!”

to Him unto death!” - Robert Murray
