Chapter 83

Shedd:“The offended party (1) permits a substitution; (2) provides a substitute; (3) substitutes himself.”George Eliot:“Justice is like the kingdom of God; it is not without us, as a fact; it is‘within us,’as a great yearning.”But it is both without and within, and the inward is only the reflection of the outward; the subjective demands of conscience only reflect the objective demands of holiness.And yet, while this view of the atonement exalts the holiness of God, it surpasses every other view in its moving exhibition of God's love—a love that is not satisfied with suffering in and with the sinner, or with making that suffering a demonstration of God's regard for law; but a love that sinks itself into the sinner's guilt and bears his penalty,—comes down so low as to make itself one with him in all but his depravity—makes every sacrifice but the sacrifice of God's holiness—a sacrifice which God could not make, without ceasing to be God; see1 John 4:10—“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”The soldier who had been thought reprobate was moved to complete reform when he was once forgiven. William Huntington, in his Autobiography, says that one of his sharpest sensations of pain, after he had been quickened by divine grace, was that he felt such pity for God. Never was man abused as God has been.Rom. 2:4—“the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance”;12:1—“the mercies of God”lead you“to present your bodies a living sacrifice”;2 Cor. 5:14, 15—“the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.”The effect of Christ's atonement on Christian character and life may be illustrated from the proclamation of Garabaldi:“He that loves Italy, let him follow me! I promise him hardship, I promise him suffering, I promise him death. But he that loves Italy, let him follow me!”
