He is our hope

Sinful humanity before the redemption could never enter behind the veil. Christ took upon himself our human nature; He bore it; He lived it; he died it. And He resumed it after he had laid it down. He glorified it, and He broke down that middle wall of partition between God and man, and thus he made peace. I look down to my nature laden with sin, and I despair. I look up to Christ's nature: it is now risen and ascended, and I’m full of joy. I look to my own nature, and I see my helplessness. I look up to Christ's nature, and I see my hope. I look down to my nature and see my sin. I look up to his, and I see his holiness. It is that holiness in the human nature of Christ that is risen now to heaven.
