A Grace in the Hem is Worth Two in the Heavens

You may recall that Isaiah saw the hem of the Lord’s robe filling the temple. Like the woman who was instantly healed, the hem of the Lord‘s robe is that which we grasp of him by faith. The temple foreshadowed the gospel economy of God’s mercy to sinners in the body of his Son. Christ crucified is full of the fringes of the infinite Majesty of the infinite God—hems of grace which guilt-ridden sinners may take by the fistful.
