How peculiar the phrase "purged our sins" would seem in this list of attributes and actions of Christ would seem if we were not so used to the idea! He who possesses and reveals perfectly the nature of God the Father, who created the world by his mere command, and who sits even now ruling over the universe at his Father's side, "by himself purged our sins." He who was higher than the heavens stooped to bear the sins of his people to the cruel cross of Calvary, there to purge them all away in the flow of his precious blood!
