With thoughts centered, not on buying and selling, but on the momentous matter of his soul's salvation, the young Liverpool merchant walked along the banks of the Menai Straits. He longed to obtain forgiveness, and asked himself the question, " How can it be obtained? "
With as much force and distinctness as if he had heard a voice from heaven, the words, " It is finished" (John 19. 30), flashed into his mind.
At once he saw what the work of Christ had accomplished, and by faith he obtained peace with God.
Reader, has the testimony of God's Word any weight with you? It speaks of a finished work, free salvation, the joy of the saved.
Are these things nothing to you? They are all yours for the taking.
