“To see him who is the wisdom of God, and the power of God, always beloved of the Father; to see him, I say, fear and tremble, and bow, and sweat, and pray, and die; to see him lifted up upon the cross, the earth trembling under him, as if unable to bear his weight; and the heavens darkened over him, as if shut against his cry; and himself hanging between both, as if refused by both; and all this because our sins did meet upon him; – this of all things doth most abundantly manifest the severity of God’s vindictive justice. Here, or nowhere, is it to be learned.”

[John Owen, Communion With Christ, p85]
