The Lord Jesus died for the ungodly. He was obedient at all costs : He bore everything, and went down into the dust of death, man's hatred, God's desertion, and Satan's power ; we find Him there at the cost of everything. Everything that was against us was done away. By one man's obedience many are made righteous.

God's ways are behind the scenes, but He moves all the scenes which He is behind.

By one Spirit we are all baptised into one body.
