“It is hard to know what one’s faith is worth until some severe test comes.  I believe in some measure and of that I am quite sure.  But in what measure I do not know.  I pray God to do for me, or to me, or in me, whatever will have the result that I may believe.”  (W. Temple)

“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)
