Scottish home on a Monday. It was wash day and the clothes were on the line, looking spotlessly clean. Then it began to snow. Soon there was a background of snowy white ness. The minister said, “Isn’t it in teresting what a difference perfect whiteness makes with the best we can do ? Look now how dark the linen shows up against the snow.” The old Scottish saint had declared rightly, “What human holiness can stand against God’s white?” My friends, when you have seen the best you can do against the background of the holiness of God, you will feel like saying, “Woe is me!” Then the Lord will send you out and you will be ready to say, “Here am I, send me.” ’TWAS I WHO DID IT I see the crowd in Pilate’s hall I mark their wrathful mien; Their shouts of "crucify" appall With blasphemy between. And of that shouting multitude I feel that I am one; And in that din of voices rude, I recognize my own. I see the scourges tear His back, I see the piercing crown And of the crowd who smite and mock I feel that I am one. Around yon cross, the crowd I see, Mocking the suff'rer’s groan, Yet still my voice it seems to be . . . As if I mocked alone. 'Twas I that shed the sacred blood, I nailed Him to the tree, I crucified the Christ of God, I joined the mockery. Yet not the less that blood avails. To cleanse away my sin. And not the less that cross prevails To give me peace within. — Horatius Bonar
