There Is a Fountain
It sounds gory and archaic. But it sums up the message of the Bible.There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath its flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.
This old hymn says what many Christians don't like to say: It states the unglamourous truth that sacrifice had to be made to satisfy God's wrath against sin. In this day and age, the word "sin" is subject to all manner of redefinition. But it remains true that the human soul has an emptiness that aches for something beyond this life, and a sense of guilt that longs for a resolution to wrongs done.
It's up to us whether we place our trust in Christ's substitution for us.
