From Spurgeon:
Stand at the foot of the cross, and count the purple drops by which you
have been cleansed. See His thorn-crown; mark His scourged shoulders,
still gushing with encrimsoned rills; see His hands and
feet given up to
the rough iron spikes, and His whole self to mockery and scorn; see the
bitterness, and the pangs, and the throes of inward grief, showing
themselves in His outward frame; hear the horrid shriek, "My God, my
God, why have You forsaken Me!"
If you do not lie prostrate on the ground before that cross—you have
never seen it! If you are not humbled in the presence of Jesus—you do
not know Him. You were so lost that nothing could save you—but
the sacrifice of God's only begotten Son. Think of that, and as Jesus
stooped for you—bow yourself in humility at His feet.
A sense of Christ's amazing love to us—has a greater tendency to
humble us, than even a consciousness of our own guilt. May the Lord
bring us in contemplation, to Calvary. Then our position will no longer
be that of pompous pride—but we shall take the humble place
of one who loves much—because much has been forgiven him. Pride cannot live beneath the cross! Let
us sit there and learn our lesson—and then rise and carry it into
practice!
