Imperial Revenues, and Small Charges

“// is folly to think that an emperor’s revejiite will not pay a beggar’s debt. Christ hath 2indertaken to satisfy for the sinners debt, and he hath mo7iey enough to pay.” Delightful thought! Great as is my debt before the justice of God, it can assuredly be met by the riches in glory which belong to the Lord Jesus. It is an overwhelming debt to me, but now that my Redeemer has shed his blood, it will be as nothing to him.. A Csesar’s revenue would discharge a poor man’s liabilities and would scarcely suffer diminution; far more will the infinite merits of Jesus discharge my sins, and remain infinitely full. Where, then, can unbelief find an excuse for its existence? There can be no real ground for fear. Come, my heart, look not so much at thy present and urgent need as at thy Lord’s supplies which are boundless, and all thine own.
