Daily Devotional Readings
God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish. 'Herein is love; not that we loved God.'
God not only provided the Saviour, and upheld Him, but He gave Him - gave Him away, to be a covenant Saviour of the people,
and a light to lighten the Gentiles. When Abraham bound his son Isaac upon the altar and lifted up the knife to strike,
this was giving away his son at the command of God, this is just what God did. He took His son out of His bosom,
and gave Him away to be bound, to be a covenant Saviour of the people. There are not more wonderful words in the whole Bible than these:
'I will give thee.' 'God spared not his own Son, but freely delivered him up to the death for us all.' The Son was infinitely dear to the Father.
God cannot but love that which is perfectly holy and beautiful. Now, such was Christ. From all eternity there had been the outgoings
of love and infinite admiration from the bosom of the Father towards His well-beloved Son. Canst thou part with me?
Canst thou give me up to the garden and the cross? 'I will give thee.' Sinners were infinitely vile in the sight of the Father.
God cannot but hate that which is enmity and rebellion to Himself. 'He is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity.'
How loathsome and hateful this world must have been in His eyes, where every heart was enmity against him?
​Canst thou give me up for such sinners, for the sake of such vile worms? 'Yes, I will give thee.'
