[Andrew Bonar's words in a letter to a Mrs. Manson, at the bedside of her dying sister]
Here is a message for your sister: 'He is ALL my
salvation.' Christ is my obedience to the law, my satisfaction for
having broken the law, my payment of the ten thousand talents I owe, and
my righteousness! He is all my salvation; my feelings, thoughts,
prayers, even my faith are no part of my salvation in coming for
acceptance as a sinner. My soul is the dry empty pitcher and Christ is
the deep well. Drop in, O my soul!
--Yours truly in the Lord,
Andrew A. Bonar
