I had the privilege of preaching for the Trinity United Reformed Church in Caledonia for the first time this week on a theme that is both humbling and exalting: Jesus revealing Himself as the suffering Lamb and the almighty King at the same time in Gethsemane. As John Flavel put it, “The wrath of an infinite God against our sin beat Him, [the King-Lamb], down to the dust. He felt in His inner man the exquisite torments and inexpressible anguish of the wrath of God”—and all that for your and my sins, dear believer. What a humbling, stupendous, glorious gospel!
