[b]He leaps into a sea of wrath![/b]
(Brooks, "The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures")
Christ went through heaven and hell, life and death, sorrow and suffering, misery and cruelty--and all to bring us to glory! And shall we not prize Him?
When in a storm, the nobles of Xerxes had to lighten the ship to preserve their king's life--they leaped into the sea! But our Lord Jesus Christ, to preserve our lives, our souls--He leaps into a sea of wrath! Oh, whenever we cast an eye upon Christ's sufferings, let us stand and wonder; yes, let us be swallowed up in a deep admiration of Christ's love, and of His Father's impartial justice!
A daily eyeing of the cross of Christ, would . . . scatter a Christian's fears, arm him against temptations, support him under afflictions, weaken his sins, strengthen his graces, cheer his soul, and mend his life!
