Marvel At This!

With the spate of superhero movies coming at us like a speeding bullet these days, I thought these words from Spurgeon (Morning and Evening, June 11) were especially...cool.

"Behold the hero of Golgotha using His cross as an anvil, and His woes as a hammer, dashing to shivers bundle after bundle of our sins, those poisoned "arrows of the bow"; trampling on every indictment, and destroying every accusation. What glorious blows the mighty Breaker gives with a hammer far more ponderous than the fabled weapon of Thor! ... Beloved, no sin of a believer can now be an arrow mortally to wound him, no condemnation can now be a sword to kill him, for the punishment of our sin was borne by Christ, a full atonement was made for all our iniquities by our blessed Substitute and Surety."

Of course Spurgeon was just a man, chosen and redeemed by God and worthy of no hoity-toity homage, but he was a hero for the Truth. If he showed up on my Wii, he might look like this:
