Eternal Wounds

Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

"The crowning worthiness heaven puts upon Christ is due to Calvary. All the splendid attributes, all the incomparable glories, concentrate in the wounds.

The place of a Lamb is upon an altar, but because of a perfect atonement perfectly accepted, the Lamb is now upon the Throne. . . . for the atonement can never lose its freshness. God never forgets it, the angels never forget it, and the redeemed never forget it.

Eternal wounds are the pledge of an eternal pardon . . . Thou did'st purchase unto God with thy blood, men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation'. The Blood alone purchases the sinner to God."

Excerpts from D. M. Panton, The Lion Lamb, quoted by F. J. Huegal, The Cross through the Scripture.

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
