Reformed Wisdom

On Acts 2:37 –

“If ever confusion, remorse, and terror, rushed at once into the bosom of a sinner with irresistible force, it was at this moment, when the Jews learned, that the deceiver whom they had nailed to the cross, the blasphemer whose blood they had shed, was the Redeemer promised to the Church, the Son of the Living God, the Lord of heaven and earth. What a crime they had committed The annals of human guilt could not furnish another of equal atrocity. How dreadful was the punishment which they had reason to expect Now they remembered their own imprecation, ‘His blood be on us and on our children;’ and they trembled lest its weight should press them down to the lowest hell” – John Dick, Lecturers on the Acts of the Apostles, 32.
