CHRIST the TESTATOR of the NEW COVENANT: “This is the covenant that I will make with them…Their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more” (Heb 10:16-17). Sheila O’Gahagan, a factory girl, broken in health, was advised to spend time at the shore. But she knew she had a deeper problem—her sin. Sitting near the Giant’s Causeway with a Bible on her lap, she read these words: “You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19). A few months later she died, but these words were found on her desk:
I will cast in the depths of the fathomless sea
All your sins and transgressions, whatever they be;
Though they mount up to heaven, though they sink down to hell,
They shall sink in the depths, and above them shall swell
All the waves of My mercy, so mighty and free:
I will cast all your sins in the depths of the sea!
