The Rock (Pt. 2)
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.
A “double cure” for sin is what was (is) needed. A “double cure” is what was provided, although not much is said about that today in some circles.
Does the fact that I can never be a perfect husband release me from the obligation to strive to be a better husband? The relevant fact is, my wife would love me even if I weren't striving to be a better husband. That fact compels me to do all I can to be a better husband to her, pathetic though my efforts can be.
Shouldn't it be the same way with the Lord?
