He sees the nails and spear in every iniquity!
(Charles Spurgeon)
The heart of Christ became like a reservoir in the midst of the mountains. All the tributary streams of iniquity, and every drop of the sins of His people--ran down and gathered into one vast lake--as deep as Hell and as shoreless as eternity. All these met, as it were, in Christ's heart--and He endured them all!
Sin is horrible to a believer--because it crucified his Savior! He sees the nails and spear in every iniquity!
We cannot bear sin. When it is near us, we feel like a wretch chained to a rotting carcass--we groan to be free from the hateful thing.
A very little sin, as the world calls it--is a very great sin to a true Christian!
