Do you seek after a righteousness to make you fit to appear in heaven? It is all ready in the Woman’s Seed. Stretch out the hand of faith — take it, and it is yours for ever. Whatever you need dwells richly in the Woman’s Seed. Cast on Him your vileness, and take His purity; cast on Him your poverty, and take His riches; cast on Him your nothingness, and take His fulness; cast on Him your curse, and receive His blessing.
Do you hesitate — do you stagger — fearful to approach one so excellent in holiness? Well might you tremble, if bade to draw near to God in His glory. But He, who calls you, is your Kinsman — the Woman’s Seed.
You may fly up to Him on the wings of faith, and embrace Him with the arms of faith, and cling to Him with the hands of faith, and lay your weary head upon His breast, and tell Him all your sorrows; and you will find that His heart is a brother’s heart, as tender to compassionate as His power is all-sufficient to save.
Do you still stand doubting? What, when Jesus has come so far for you, will you not stir one step towards Him? When He has stooped so low, will you not ascend to Him? When He brings Himself, in man’s form, to your very door, will you not open and welcome Him? Surely there is enough in the Woman’s Seed to slay all unbelief; enough to win and conquer every heart. Here we see heaven coming down to earth, that earth may be raised to heaven. Here we see the son of God becoming man, that men may become the children of God. Will not this satisfy — persuade — allure? Surely God could do no more. Man, then, can say no more.
I close with this earnest entreaty; read these few words again and again, until you find the flame of faith and love kindling in your soul; and then, on the bended knees of gratitude, exclaim, I bless Thee, Heavenly Father, for the promise in Eden of the Woman’s Seed. I bless Thee, for sending, in the fulness of time, the Woman’s Seed I bless Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for coming to save me, as the Woman’s Seed. I bless Thee, Holy Spirit, for revealing to my soul the Woman’s Seed.
