Answer:
God was pleased to become a Mediator, with his Fa|ther. Divine justice required that the guilty should be punished; but the mercy and compassion of our Emmanuel, led him to undertake the work of our redemption, by making himself a sacrifice for us.
Explanation:
JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY FOUNDATION.
I CORINTHIANS, III. 11.
FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY, THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST.
EVERY man, who has any sense of the value of his soul, and any regard to its eternal inte|rest, must be convinced of the necessity of some sure and certain foundation, for peace, comfort, and hope, with respect to his future state: The soul is so precious, that nothing can be a proper founda|tion for hope concerning its salvation, but one that is firm and stedfast, one that is laid by GOD him|self, one that will endure the severest trials, and that will stand when every thing else will fall. He is represented as a foolish man, who built his house on the sand; but he is called wise, who built upon the Rock, and that Rock is CHRIST.
It is also a matter of great importance, that Chris|tians should learn to distinguish between the true ground of hope, and every thing else which has any connexion with it, or dependence upon it: For want of this, many a true Christian has been subject to great uneasiness of mind, and has deprived him|self of much comfort, which he might have enjoyed,

if he had had a clear and distinct idea of what he ought solely to build upon. We are very apt to mistake the evidences of our interest in CHRIST, for the foundation of our hope; and because we see much imperfection in the evidences, we are apt to think there is imperfection in the foundation: Whereas the foundation is perfect, while the superstructure is very defective; and by a due attention to this dis|tinction, we might enjoy great comfort and peace of mind, even when our evidences are very dark and perplexed.
