Atonement implies estrangement. 1t
means restoration OF relationship.
Without knowledge OF the fall
we can have no proper conception OF
the atonement. In the beginning God
and man were at one-ment. Adams
sin made the estrangement. Christs
death made them atone again. In
vain do we inquire how this was ac-
complished. His death made God and
man one again is all that we can say.
The angels can say no more.
The idea OF atonement by the she'd
ding bloods is taught from Genesis to
Revelation. The first intimation was
in the Garden Of Eden when God said:
1.-THE seed OF the woman shall bruise
the serpent's head" Abel's bloody sac
rifice is the next, and from there to
Calvary is a stream Of blood.
Atonment means substitution
whereby the guilty goes free and the
innocent suffer. Jesus died for me-"
contains all there is in the atone
ment.
1t was sin that alienated us from
God 1t is Christ restores us to God.
Sin is an awful fact in mans expert
ence. Christ is a fact in mans re-
demption. The man who thinks he has
no need of Christ, does not know his
spiritual condition. He does not real
ize that he sis wretch undone with
out His sovereign grace" This is the
secret of a mans indifference to his
spiritual interests. Sin blinds men so
they cannot see their ruin and degree
dalton, neither can they see in Christ
their salvation Christ died to save
all the world but those to whom this
great truth is preached seem least
willing TO be saved.
The proof of the atonement is found
in its influence upon mans moral ma
ture. He who accepts the doctrine of
the atonement, and makes prac-
teal application of it to his own heart
receives a new nature and is conscious
of the great change that has been
wrought in himself. His raptured soul
revels in the joy Of delverance from
the power of sin. He is filled with
wonder and alteration He feels the
thrill of reconciliation and praises
his saviour When men have attained
to this estate they can laugh at agnos-
ticism and say with Job, u know that

And one more deserted wife
weeps.
Too often she weeps for a man

These tears, this agony, are waste

The tears fall in secret, the agony
