Exceeding Abundant
There is in it not only a true, but a copious and full satisfaction. Christ’s death and blood is superabundant to our sins: The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant, 1 Tim. i. 14. ὑπερεπλεόνασεν, it was over full, redundant, more than enough. Many an humble soul is apt to complain, 'O if I had not been so great a sinner, there might have been hope.’ This is to undervalue Christ’s redemption, this is to think there is more in sin to damn, than in Christ’s sufferings to save: whereas all thy sins to Christ, are but as a little cloud to the glorious sun; yea, all the sins of all the men in the world, are but, to Christ’s merits, as a drop to the ocean.
