Justice Satisfied
When I see the blood, I will pass over you. (Exodus 12:13)
My 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 looks at it and passes over me because of it. If I
am not so much at ease as I ought to be, because my faith is dim, yet I am equally safe because the
Lord's eye is not dim, and He sees the blood of the great Sacrifice with a steady gaze. What a joy is
this!
The Lord sees the deep inner meaning, the infinite fullness of all that is meant by the death of His
dear Son. He sees it with restful memory of justice satisfied and all His matchless attributes glorified.
He beheld creation in its progress and said, "It is very good"; but what does He say of redemption in
its completeness? What does He say of the obedience even unto the death of His well-beloved Son?
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 in calm security. We have God's sacrifice and God's Word to create in us a sense of
perfect security. He will, He must, pass over us because He spared not our glorious Substitute.
Justice joins hands with love to provide everlasting salvation for all the blood-besprinkled
