What these things cost

What these things cost our Redeemer

We sometimes forget, while we pillow our heads on the promises of God and rest secure in the atonement, and enjoy all the blessings of redemption and the hopes of glory — what these things cost our Redeemer . In . . .

those long years of poverty,

those sharp days of temptation,

those keen hours of agony —

He was laying up treasures of blessing and glory for us!

There is not a hope or a joy of our Christian faith, which does not come to us out of the treasures stored away by our Redeemer during the years of His humiliation, and the hours of His agony and death.
