“‘Our sins’; what a horrible thought for contemplation! Think of the vast accumulation of impure thoughts, of unrighteous deeds and of unkind and dishonest words. Vast as they are, we rejoice today to be assured that our glorious Savior has borne them all ‘in His own body on the tree’. In His death, He took full responsibility for our sins and answered perfectly to God for them all. Are you personally resting on Him for your eternal salvation?” G. Hall.

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it [overcome it].” John 1:1-5.
