Jesus' Holiness

"Which of you accuses me of sin?" Only one man in all human history could ask that question and expect none to reply in the affirmative. His conduct was perfect, not just from the perspective of other men but from the Father himself, he who declared that he was "well pleased" with his Son. He really was the spotless, blemish-less Lamb of God. Scougal praises him for his abstinence--the many ways in which he denied himself earthly pleasures that he allowed others and certainly had the power to produce for himself, yet he was content with very little. In his earthly life he was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief; when he returns, however, I expect there will be great gladness and much joy and laughter at the wedding feast of the Lamb.
