Pardon and Forgiveness

"He will not always chide: neither will He keep His anger for ever" (Psalm
103:9).

He will chide sometimes, or He would not be a wise Father for such poor, erring
children as we are. His chiding is very painful to those who are true, because
they feel how sadly they deserve it and how wrong it is on their part to grieve
Him. We know what this chiding means, and we bow before the LORD, mourning that
we should cause Him to be angry with us.

But what a comfort we find in these lines! "Not always" will He chide. If we
repent and turn to Him with hearts broken for sin and broken from sin, He will
smile upon us at once. It is no pleasure to Him to turn a frowning face toward
those whom He loves with all His heart: it is His joy that our joy should be
full.

Come, let us seek His face. There is no reason for despair, nor even for
despondency. Let us love a chiding God, and before long we shall sing, "Thine
anger is turned away, and thou comfortest me." Be gone, ye dark forebodings, ye
ravens of the soul! Come in, ye humble hopes and grateful memories, ye doves of
the heart! He who pardoned us long ago as a judge will again forgive us as a
father, and we shall rejoice in His sweet, unchanging love.

“Shew the Lord’s death till he come.ö 1 Cor. 11. 26


1 Jesus, once for sinners slain,
From the dead was raised again,
And in heaven is now set down
With his Father in his throne.

2 There he reigns a King supreme;
We shall also reign with him;
Feeble souls, be not dismayed;
Trust in his almighty aid.

3 He has made an end of sin,
And his blood has washed us clean;
Fear not, he is ever near;
Now, e’en now, he’s with us here.

4 Thus assembling, we, by faith,
Till he come, show forth his death; Of his body bread’s the sign,
And we drink his blood in wine.

5 Bread, thus broken, aptly shows
How his body God did bruise;
When the grape’s rich blood we see, Lord, we then remember thee.

6 [Saints on earth, with saints above, Celebrate his dying love,
And let every ransomed soul
Sound his praise from pole to pole.]
