We need only to compare scripture with scripture, to discover that it is Jesus of whom the prophet here speaks. Psalms 22:1-2. But, Reader! do not hastily pass over this review. Did Jesus cry and groan, and was he weary of it? Whence all this? The answer is at hand: In all this Jesus acted as the sinner's surety. Hence terror beset him on every side: his holy soul was full of horrors and the darkness of death. He sustained all that was the sinner's due, that he might expiate sin by the sacrifice of himself. Hence the surety bleeds, and groans, and dies, that the principal, for whom he suffered, might go free. Hence Jesus trembles, and complains of being forsaken, that his people, his redeemed, might have the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Isaiah 61:3. And was this the cause for which Jesus groaned and died? Oh! love unequalled! Oh! matchless grace! Shall my soul ever lose sight of thee, and of thy love? Shall I ever, by unbelief and disobedience, doubt thy love anymore, thou blessed Jesus?
