“Here in the cross is where every enemy of joy is overcome:

• Divine wrath, as he becomes a curse for us;
• Real guilt, as he becomes forgiveness for us;
• Lawbreaking, as he becomes righteousness for us;
• Estrangement from God, as he becomes reconciliation for us;
• Slavery to Satan, as he becomes redemption for us;
• Bondage to sin, as he becomes liberation for us;
• Pangs of conscience, as he becomes cleansing for us;
• Death, as he becomes the resurrection for us;
• Hell, as he becomes eternal life for us.”

– C.H. Spurgeon
