We think our distaste for imprecatory prayers and statements in the Bible is an improvement in us, that it shows that we're more loving than men like Knox. I wonder. It may rather indicate how enervated we have become by capitulating to a tolerant age that no longer believes in the teeth-gnashing reality of the final judgement of God.The Mighty Weakness of John Knox (46)
The wrath of God is as much a divine perfection as is His faithfulness, power, or mercy
Not all the vials of judgement, that have, or shall be poured out on this wicked world, nor the flaming furnace of a sinner's conscience, nor the irreversible sentance pronounced against the rebellious devils, nor the screams of the damned creatures give such a demonstration of God's hatred of sin, as the wrath of God let loose upon his Son. Never did Divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely, than at the time our saviour's countenance was most marred in the midst of his dying groans. This himself acknowledges in that prophetical psalm (22:1-2), when God had turned his smiling face from him, and thrust his sharp knife into his heart, which forced that terrible cry from him, "My God, my God, why hast though forsaken me?"

Christ is to us just what his cross is. All that Christ was in heaven or on earth was put into what he did there... Christ, I repeat, is to us just waht his cross is. You do not understand Christ till you understand his crossCruciality of the Cross (44-45)
