In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Job 17:13-14; Psalms 22:15. How sweet a relief ought it to be to the poor man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, while thus bearing a part in the sin and punishment of Adam's transgression; to consider how he bears a part in the precious interest of all that concerns Jesus, in whose sufferings we had no portion. Yes! thou dear Redeemer, thou didst tread the wine press of thy Father's wrath alone. Thou didst bear the curse. Thou didst endure the bloody sweat. Thou didst die the death. And oh! what a thought! Thou wast made sin for us when thou knewest no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in thee. 2 Corinthians 5:21
