Christ Alone in the Loneliness of Sin

“BEHIND the veil, where every man is alone with his sin and his God, Christ only can help. My brother, in the loneliness of sin, on the battle-ground of temptation, we know how very far away the crowd feels; how utterly irrelevant our brother’s merit; how hopeless our brother’s love. It is just here that Christ penetrates and proves himself divine. Of our guilt he tells us, I have borne it, and stand by thee; of our sin, This is my charge; of our weakness, My grace is sufficient for thee; of our shame, I love thee, the Father hath forgiven thee; of our hopelessness, I will trust thee with my work, with my interests. Be of good cheer.”
