He gave so much that He could give no more

(Henry Law, "Gleanings from the Book of Life")

With what a price has Christ redeemed His people! 

He paid not silver and gold for their ransom. 

He gave not all the precious things of earth as their equivalent. He heaped not worlds upon worlds and placed them as payment in the balance of God's justice. All such expenditure would have been as unavailing as the chaff. 

He gave . . .
Himself, 
His life, 
His blood. 

He gave so much that He could give no more! 

And He gave this to bear the extremest curse of God, to endure all the punishment, and all the miseries, and all the anguish which His people must have suffered if they had wailed through all the endless ages amid the torments of the lost!
