Desire Of Ages, Page 131.2
Never can the cost of our redemption be realized until the redeemed shall stand with the Redeemer before the throne of God. Then as the glories of the eternal home burst upon our enraptured senses we shall remember that Jesus left all this for us, that He not only became an exile from the heavenly courts, but for us took the risk of failure and eternal loss. Then we shall cast our crowns at His feet, and raise the song, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing." Rev. 5:12
I am reading through The Desire Of Ages again....or maybe this is the first time. Seems like the first time sometimes as I read things I did not notice before. As I was reading Chapter 13 last night and read the part I put in red..my heart was so touched with amazement that Jesus came to this world of sin to save such a sinner as me. The thought that He risked loosing eternal life Himself just amazes me. I am at a lost for words on what this means to me. Can you just imagine how much Jesus loved us to risk all that? And then I think about what I am doing to reflect His Character. This should be our utmost study.In The Blessed Hope
