Corporate Confession With Personal Responsibility
- All believers confess universal and individual guilt with the words All we like sheep have gone astray.
- Frazer Blaxland highlights both the corporate nature of the confession and each person's unique, aggravated sinfulness.
Repentance That Gives Up All Excuses
- The confession is unreserved and contains no excuses or self-justification.
- Blaxland stresses genuine repentance stands alone while still associating with other penitents, broken and weaponless.
Mercy Concentrated Where Misery Peaks
- Where misery and sorrow reach their darkest point the Lord's mercy and rest appear most abundant.
- Blaxland shows the paradox that the Saviour bruised brings healing to bruised hearts by bearing iniquity.
