15. Let them be desolate, or amazed. As Jesus was
desolate in his agony, let his enemies be in their despair when he defeats
them. The desolation caused in the hearts of evil spirits and evil men by envy,
malice, chagrin, disappointment and despair will be a fit recompense for their
cruelty to the Lord when he was in their hands. For a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. Did the foul fiend insult our Lord? Shame is
now his reward. Do the wicked today pour shame on the name of the Redeemer?
Their desolation will avenge him of his adversaries. Jesus is the gentle Lamb
to all who seek mercy through his blood; but let despisers beware. The Jewish
rulers scornfully said, “Aha, aha,” but the blood of the last of the prophets came upon themselves and
upon their children. Beware of persecuting Christ and his people, for God will
surely avenge his own elect.
