Lo, I come… Exodus 19:9
God came down, “Lo, I come”, to meet Moses on Mt. Sinai. He came to authenticate him as His representative and to prepare the people to receive and obey His law. (Ex. 19:9-10). But they (including Moses) could not keep it! Thankfully the Psalmist prophesied of another, God’s Son, who would come to offer Himself to pay for all of us and our failure to keep God’s Law (Ps. 40:6-8). The Lord Jesus said, “Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God” (Heb. 10:7). Jesus was that perfect sacrifice who came to fulfil God’s Law in every way, and to shed His blood to bear away all our sin—yours and mine! —K. C. Ung
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. —Robert Lowry
