Every pardon is the price',
Back to The Pastor's Evening Visit
Every pardon is the price of the blood of Jesus!
"Who forgives ALL your iniquities!" Psalm 103:3
We daily need to be pardoned—for we daily sin.
Our sins are of an aggravated character:
They are the sins of a ransomed captive—against Him who redeemed him at the price of His blood!
They are the sins of a peculiarly favoured servant, who lives in his master's house, sits at his master's table, and owes his all to his master's liberality—against the master who thus favours him.
They are the sins of a beloved child—against the wisest, kindest, and best of fathers.
Our faults are many, various, frequently repeated, and inexcusable! Yet the Lord forgives ALL our iniquities!
He pardons like a God—fully, freely, consistently.
Every pardon is the price of the blood of Jesus!
When He pardons, He secures hatred to sin, sorrow for sin, and a departure from sin.
He pardons like a father—He does so tenderly and frequently.
"Who forgives all your iniquities" David, who bore this testimony to God's pardoning mercy, was no common sinner. He had been guilty of adultery, deception and murder! He led others into sin, charged it upon providence, and slept under the guilt of it for months. He wrote with a smarting conscience, and with a grateful heart.
Reader, are you pardoned? God is ready to forgive.
