The Atonement Adapted to All
1 Corinthians 1:22-24
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:…


There is a want in the human mind which nothing but the Atonement can satisfy, though it may he a stumbling block to the Jew, and foolishness to the Greek. In the words of Henry Rogers: "It is adapted to human nature, as a hitter medicine may be to a patient. Those who have taken it, tried its efficacy, and recovered spiritual health, gladly proclaim its value. But to those who have not, and will not try it, it is an unpalatable potion still."

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
