Never think of him as an incomplete Redeemer...

Another passage that has freshly renewed my appreciation for the work of Christ. This is from a collection of sermons by Hugh Martin entitled, Christ for Us:

"Never think of him as an incomplete Redeemer. His redemption work is perfect. And his resurrection proves it. He died for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. He finished the work given him to do. He left none of it for his weak and weary people.

"Say not anything in thine heart which it would be right and reasonable to say only on the supposition that Jesus was still the prisoner of death. He is risen. He is ascended. He is within the veil of glory - able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by him. Let not thine heart ever for a moment be in a state or frame that would be reasonable only on the supposition that Christ were not raised from the dead."

Is that last sentence convicting or what?!?
