Was I right?

by Mrs. O. F. Walton

"Has he still the guilt of sin resting on him?"

"Yes, he is just as he was before."

"Now, then, look at the middle cross; look at Jesus, has He sin in Him?"

"Oh no," she said, "He never sinned; He was quite holy."

"But was there no sin on Him?" I said.

"Was there, May?" she asked.

"Yes," I answered, "don't you remember it says, 'The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.' It was not His own sin that was resting on Him, but ours."

"Oh yes," she said, "I see what you mean."

"And now look at the third cross. There hangs the thief who has looked to Jesus. He still has sin in him; till he gets to heaven, his heart will be sinful still. But has he sin on him? That is to say, do the guilt and consequences of his sin still rest on him?"

"No, I don't think they do," she said.
