AUGUST 7
COME, FOR JESUS DIED FOR SINNERS.
"While we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us."
COME, FOR JESUS DIED FOR SINNERS.
Romans 5:8
Yes, Jesus died, "the just for the
unjust,
that he might bring us to God."
Justice demanded the sinner's life; and
Jesus took a human life like the sinner's,
that he might lay it down in his stead.
He was unwilling that sinners should
die forever without a remedy.
He could not endure to see sinners
going to Hell without a way of escape.
He had the power to take the human
nature
into union with his Divine,
and he exercised that power.
Man’s life was united to God’s life;
man's nature became one with God's nature;
and Jesus, as God and man, died for sinners,
Died in the stead of sinners.
that he might bring us to God."
Jesus took a human life like the sinner's,

into union with his Divine,
and he exercised that power.
man's nature became one with God's nature;
and Jesus, as God and man, died for sinners,
Died,
that sinners might never die.
Sinners still deserve to die;
but they need not.
They deserve to go to Hell;
but if they come to Jesus,
God will never send them there.
O the love of Jesus!
To give his person for our persons,
his life for our life, and
to die on the accursed tree, that
"WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM
SHOULD NOT PERISH,
BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE!"
Reader, do you see that you are a
sinner?
Do you feel that you are a sinner?
If so, Jesus died for sinners such as
you,
died that you may never die,
died the most painful and shameful death,
that you may live the most happy and glorious life.
He is now inviting you to come to him
and receive that life.
It is impossible for him to refuse to
receive and save you.
Do you think he would die for you,
call you to come to him, and
then refuse to save you?
It is impossible!
Come then to Jesus, because he bore the
punishment of your sins
"in his own body on the tree."
Come and live,
because Jesus died.
Come and be happy,
because Jesus suffered.
Come and receive a blessing,
since Jesus was made a curse for you.
"He hath made him to be sin for
us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him!"
2 Corinthians 5:21
