On Christ's Part

•The cross was the place where He glorified God, when He offered Himself up, through the eternal Spirit.
•It was the place where He put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
•By the blood of His cross He made peace.
•The cross was the measure of His perfect obedience unto death.
•It was there that He brought mercy and truth together, and righteousness and peace kissed each other.
•It cleared the way of all the obstructions to God's coming back in grace and blessing to sinners.
•It was the place of the Son of man's glory, for it was He who wrought this for God and men, and for the overthrow of Satan.
•The fire of God's holiness fed there upon the fat of the sacrifice.
•It was there the righteous judgment of God spent itself upon Christ as the sin-offering.
