If He wound, He shall heal

Hugh Binning (Practical Sermons), Works, p. 610:

This condemning law is delivered in a Mediator’s hand, even Jesus Christ, Gal. 3:19, 20. Who was he that spake out of the cloud, and fire, and came and set down his throne on Sinai, accompanied with innumerable angels? Deut. 33:2; Acts 7:53. It was Jesus Christ that spoke to Moses in the mount, and in the bush also, Acts 7:35, 38. Is it then the Mediator’s law, whose office it is to preach glad tidings, and the day of salvation? Sure then it needs be dreadful to no man. For if he wound, he shall heal, and he comes to bind up the broken-hearted. Ye may look on the command and curse as messengers sent by mercy, to prepare you, and make his way straight before his face. The end of the law is not to condemn you, to stop your mouth, and make you guilty. That is not the last work it is appointed for; but the Mediator hath another end, to bring you to the righteousness of faith, to save you without yourselves. Therefore ye may more willingly accept the challenge, since it comes in so peaceable terms.
