CLING TO CHRIST JESUS, Friends!
THERE IS A 'BUOYANCY' IN THE
CROSS
Cling to the cross though your
sins rise up before you like mountains for their size; like the sands on the sea
shore for their number; and glowing like scarlet and crimson, in
color! For no sins, however great, or however numerous should tempt
us to despond, or to let go of our hold on the cross - seeing the blood of Jesus
Christ cleanses from ALL sin. There is a 'buoyancy' in the cross which will
never let anyone sink, who clings to it! If our sins were as ponderous as the
globe, or as numerous as all the particles of created matter yet embracing the
cross of Jesus they are all forgiven, and forgiven forever! They are all
blotted out like the dark clouds, which obscured the sun for a little while on
the summer's morning! They are all blotted out like a stone cast from an
angel's hand into the depths of ocean! They are all forgiven and forgotten
forever! Cling to the cross!
-James Smith, 1857 A.D.
