Open as PDF

"The place which is called Calvary." Luke 23:33

The hill of comfort—is the hill of Calvary.

The house of consolation—is built with the wood of the cross.

The temple of heavenly blessing—is founded upon the cleft rock—cleft by the spear which pierced His side.

No scene in sacred history ever gladdens the soul—like Calvary's tragedy!

Light springs from the midday-midnight of Golgotha!

Every flower of blessing blooms sweetly beneath the shadow of that accursed tree!

In that place of thirst—grace has dug a fountain which ever gushes with waters as pure as crystal, each drop capable of alleviating the woes of mankind!

You who have had your seasons of trouble—will confess that it was at Gethsemane, Gabbatha, and Golgotha that you have found real comfort.

The bitter herbs of Gethsemane—have often taken away the bitters of your life.

The scourge of Gabbatha—has often scourged away your cares.

The groans of Golgotha—have yielded you rare and rich comfort.

We would never have known Christ's love in all its heights and depths—if He had not died. Nor could we guess the Father's deep affection—if He had not given His Son to die. He who would know real love—let him retire to Calvary, and see the Man of sorrows die!
