“When Jesus took on Himself our sins, He, too, felt them and felt them as if they had been His own.  He cried ‘My iniquities have taken hold upon me!’ (Psalm 40: 12).  Identifying Himself with us, His soul grieved immeasurably for the sin He bore, and His tears dropped on the awful burden which He took up, as sincerely as if it had been altogether His Own.”  (A. A. Bonar; 1810-1889)
