What a strange declaration is this! How wonderful are the ways and the methods used by the Holy Spirit to make Christ REAL to us! A nail is something, of iron or steel, which can be driven into a wall, and can be used to fasten things together. What does the Book say Christ did with our sins? That He "blotted out the handwriting of the ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, NAILING it to His Cross!" (Col 2:14). Our sins were fastened "in a sure place" for they were nailed -WITH- Him to the Cross, and thus the sin question is settled forever [In-Christ]. Hallelujah!
Our wonderful Saviour, we can never cease to praise Thee for the prints of the nails in Thy hands. Amen.
