Atonement, Greatness of the – Charles Spurgeon

IF you have an eye to sin, take care to have an eye to the atonement too. Let your eyes be full of tears, but let those tears act like magnifying-glasses to your eyes, to make the cross appear a grander and a dearer thing than ever. Never let your sin shake your confidence in Christ, for if you be a great sinner, glorify him by believing him to be a great Savior. Do not diminish the value of the blood while you magnify the intensity of your sin. Think as badly of sin as you can, but think right gloriously of Christ, for there is no sin, however hellish or devilish, which the blood of Jesus cannot take away; and if the concentrated essence of everything that is diabolical in iniquity be found in yourself, yet “the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin,” and herein we must, yes, and will, rejoice.
