The sermon calls for a heartfelt response to Christ's love, acknowledging His suffering as the pathway to their own blessings and justification. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christians, spend your days in admiring the transcendent love of Christ--in undergoing hellish punishments in your stead! Oh pray, pray hard that you "may be able to comprehend what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of that love of Christ, which passes knowledge!" Ephesians 3:18-19 The love of Christ put Him upon these bodily and spiritual sufferings--which were so exceeding great, acute, extreme, and universal--and all to save you from wrath to come! His miseries, sorrows, and sufferings are unparalleled, and therefore Christians have the more cause to lose themselves in the contemplation of His matchless love. Oh, bless Christ! Oh, kiss Christ! Oh, embrace Christ! Oh, cleave to Christ! Oh, follow Christ! Oh, walk with Christ! Oh, long for Christ --who for your sakes has undergone insupportable wrath and most hellish torments! Oh, look up to dear Jesus, and say, "O blessed Jesus, You were accursed--that I might be blessed! You were condemned--that I might be justified! You underwent the very torments of hell--that I might forever enjoy the pleasures of heaven! Therefore I cannot but dearly love You, and highly esteem You, and greatly honor You, and earnestly long after You!" ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/thomas-brooks/all-to-save-you-from-wrath-to-come/ ========================================================================
