“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace,<\/span> that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” [Hebrews 4:16].
\n“It is a throne, and who sits on it? It is grace personified that is here installed in dignity. And, truly, to-day grace is on a throne. In the gospel of Jesus Christ grace is the most predominant attribute of God. How comes it to be so exalted? We reply, well, grace has a throne by conquest.<\/i> Grace came down to earth in the form of the Well-beloved, and it met with sin. Long and sharp was the struggle, and grace appeared to be trampled under foot of sin; but grace at last seized sin, threw it on its own shoulders, and, though all but crushed beneath the burden, grace carried sin up to the cross and nailed it there, slew it there, put it to death for ever, and triumphed gloriously. For this cause at this hour grace sits on a throne, because it has conquered human sin, has borne the penalty of human guilt, and overthrown all its enemies.”<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span> <\/p>\n

Delivered on Lord’s-Day Morning, November 19th, 1871, by
\nC. H. SPURGEON,
\nAt the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington<\/p>\n

What a great mental picture of what Christ accomplished.
\nI confess, I have strayed from the cross and have taken my eyes off Jesus Christ. What an oasis of refreshment these words are for me in my spiritual desert.
\nMay they minister to your soul too.<\/p>\n
