The plan, as I now saw it, seemed so infinitely more glorious, that I could only rejoice in it. Not only had he paid our debt, but he had clothed us also in his own robe of righteousness: so that we need not depend on ourselves, or look for righteousness in ourselves, but find all in Christ. That was truly a glorious redemption.
