The outpouring of the everlasting wrath of God'

Back to Man's religion & God's religion 3


"The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." 
Isaiah 53:6

What heart can conceive, what tongue express 
what the holy soul of Christ endured when "the 
Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all?"

In the garden of Gethsemane . . .
what a load of guilt,
what a weight of sin,
what an intolerable burden of the wrath of God,
did that sacred humanity endure, until the pressure 
of sorrow and woe forced the drops of blood to fall 
as sweat from His brow!

When the blessed Lord was made sin (or a sin offering) 
for us, He endured in His holy soul all the pangs of . . .
distress,
horror,
alarm,
misery, and
guilt that all the elect would have felt in hell forever
as they would have experienced under the outpouring 
of the everlasting wrath of God
 . . .
the anguish, 
the distress, 
the darkness, 
the condemnation, 
the shame, 
the guilt, 
the unutterable horror.

What heart can conceive—what tongue express—the 
bitter anguish which must have wrung the soul of our 
suffering Substitute under this agonizing experience?
