The Fierceness of God's Wrath

Nahum 1:6

"Who can stand before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger? His wrath is poured out like fire and the rocks are broken up by Him."

How terrible would it be to stand before God. Verses like these should arouse thankfulness in our hearts. Jesus Christ stood before God's wrath in my place. He stood before God's indignation. He endured the burning of His anger. He was overwhelmed by God's fire and was broken up by Him. Now we stand before God, not before His indignation. We receive the gifts of His grace, not the burning of His anger. How magnificent is Christ and how great is Christ to have endured all this for me. Let us be thankful for mercy. Stay strong and God bless!
