According to the ancient duty, this I must proclaim to you: Today is the highest and most sorrowful of days. Today, the Lord God has made himself low and detestable. Today he has made himself Barabbas, that we might be Christ. Today we are joined with fallen nature in our weeping, in our joy, and in our rescue.
The Lord has borne the pain that we have deserved. We have been cruel, unjust, and unkind, and the bitter cup we have mixed has been taken from us. We have been liars, hypocrites, and haters of the truth. The truth has shown Himself to us, and we have killed him. But, praise God, there is now a mystery, for He has intended the highest evil for Greatest Good.
This I declare as my testimony, as truth
