God spared not His own Son for us

Before we came to the Table, we meditated on the incomprehensible nature of the Father's love shown in the sacrament - that the Father "spared not his own Son but delivered him up for us all". To think on the Father not showing mercy for His beloved only begotten Son for sinners is to see in the sacrament not just the love of the Son of God, but the love of the Father in not showing mercy to His Son that we who believe would have mercy, and to have that love shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Preached from Romans 8:32.
