Dear friends,
Here’s something more for 1 Peter 2:24 thought and prayer. In Expositions of Holy Scripture, Alexander MacLaren (1826–1910) said this about the cross:
The cross is the agency of sanctification as well as the means of forgiveness — saving grace to save us from the world, saving grace to help us everywhere and in everything for our salvation, and saving grace to help us to conquer our self-will.
