Every enemy of joy is overcome...

I came across this quote recently from Charles Spurgeon (an English Baptist from the 19th century) as posted on a blog called "Of First Importance" and I thought I would pass it along.

“Here in the cross is where every enemy of joy is overcome: divine wrath, as he becomes a curse for us; real guilt, as he becomes forgiveness for us; lawbreaking, as he becomes righteousness for us; estrangement from God, as he becomes reconciliation for us; slavery to Satan, as he becomes redemption for us; bondage to sin, as he becomes liberation for us; pangs of conscience, as he becomes cleansing for us; death, as he becomes the resurrection for us; hell, as he becomes eternal life for us.”- C.H. Spurgeon
