Justice Satisfied 

"When I see the blood, I will pass over you."

                                                                                                               ~ Exodus 12:13

     "My own sight of the precious blood is for my comfort, but it is the Lord's sight of it that secures my safety. Even when I am unable to behold it, the Lord sees it and passes over me.

     The Lord sees the deeper meaning, the infinite fullness of all that is meant by the death of His Son. He beheld Creation in its progress, and said, "It is very good;" but what does He say of redemption in its completeness? None can tell His delight in Jesus, His rest in the sweet savor which Jesus presented when He offered Himself without spot unto God.

     Now rest we in calm security. We have God's Sacrifice and God's Word to create in us a sense of perfect security. He will pass over us, because He spared not our glorious Substitute. Justice joins hands with love to provide everlasting salvation for all the blood-besprinkled ones."
