O what a melting consideration is this!,.
Back to Christ's Comfort for Weary Pilgrims!
(John Flavel, "http://www.gracegems.org/27/fountain_of_life.htm" The Fountain of Life" 1671)
"Christ died for the ungodly." (Romans 5:6)
O what a melting consideration is this! That . . .
out of His agony — comes our victory;
out of His condemnation — comes our justification;
out of His pain — comes our ease;
out of His stripes — comes our healing;
out of His gall and vinegar — comes our honey;
out of His curse — comes our blessing;
out of His crown of thorns — comes our crown of glory;
out of His death — comes our life!
