Object. 3. But my sins are of that magnitude that I am discouraged from looking up to Christ?
Answ. Captivate fear, and advance Faith*. Suppose an Israelite had been more stung and bitten than others, yet by looking on the Brazen serpent he might have been healed as well as they that had but the least sting. Christ's blood believed in, cures the greatest stings. What cannot the blood of God do? it cured Manasseh three deadly stings, bloodshed, Idolatry, Sorcery, 2 Chron. 32. 2, 3. The Brazen serpent can cure the Crimson sinner, Isa. 1. 18. I speak not this that any should presume, but that no broken-hearted sinner should despair.
