Saviour died, who for all men’s sins was crucified. On either side, were two men who had long walked in the transgressor’s ways. They had been condemhed, and. suf­ fered Justly for their deeds. These two thieVes are typical of and fully represent the whole human family. One thief saw in Jesus the One who had long been promised as the Redeemer of Israel, the Messiah that was to come, the Christ of God. He believed on Him, and committed him­ self to His keeping. Jesus rewarded his faith, by assuring him that, '“ This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." The other thief, with equal privilege and opportunity as the first thief, turned away from Jesus and, without God and without hope, died in unbelief. There are only two classes of people in the world,— those who believe_on Jesus and commit their lives to His keeping, and those Who disbelieve, and will not have Jesus to rule in their lives. To which class do you belong? The question of belief or unbelief settles the eternal destiny of every person in the world. The sin question was eternally settled by our Saviour on the Cross. The cross of Christ is the meeting place for Ood and man. In fact there is no other place where the sinner can meet with God except at the cross. When Moses lifted up the ser* pent in the wilderness, it was not enough for the person who had been bitten to believe that the serpent had been raised up; but he must believe God, obey His command and look upon the serpent, before he could be 'healed. So we, who have been bitten by sin must, with the eye of faith, see Jesus as He hung on the cross; and whosoever sees Him in His redemptive work, and believes on Him, shall have Everlast­ ing Life. What is it the sinner sees as he approaches the Cross of Christ? He sees Jesus, the only perfect Man that ever lived, the man who took his place and died in his stead. He sees Jesus, the Lamb of God, upon whom God has placed all his sins, Who took them away, and removed them as far from us as the East is from the West, and has promised to remember them no more forever. He sees Jesus, the Righteous One, who fulfilled the law’s demands, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross. He sees Jesus,- the Son of God, yea, very God Himself, because of His great love wherewith He has loved him, even when he was a lost sinner, afar off from God, and without hope, willing to suffer there on the cross, that he, a poor, lost sinner might become a son of God. He sees Qod who is rich in mercy for His great love, wherewith He hath loved him, meeting him there at the cross, and saying to him: “ All this was done for you; only believe on Him who died that you might live.” Then a great flood of light fills his soul as he realizes that Jesus has saved him, and he commits himself to Him for time and Eternity. He can now rejoice, and say as Paul did: “ For I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” The mercy of God was extended to its fullest measure at the Cross of Christ. The Demands o f the Law were fully met by the vicarious suffering and' death of Christ on Calvary. The Justice o f God was fully vindicated and the Love of God was expressed without measure, by the finished work of His Only Begotten Son on Golgotha’s hill. The Grace of God comes to every man, offering freely all the 'benefits that accrue from the death of Christ on the cross with only one condition: viz, “ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” “ He that believeth on the Son hath Everlasting Life: He that believeth not the Son shall not see life.”
