Hebrews 9:27-28 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment:… 1. On contemplating the death of Christ, let us consider that "it brought life and immortality to light"; and while it manifested in the most striking manner God's abhorrence of sin, it assured us of the riches of His Divine love in admitting such an expiation and atonement for it. 2.
