MacDonald: execution of sin

Meditation:
But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
—Hebrews 1:8-9 (NIV)

Quotation:
For evil in the abstract, nothing can be done. It is eternally evil. But I may be saved from it by learning to loathe it, to hate it, to shrink from it with an eternal avoidance. The only vengeance worth having on sin is to make the sinner himself its executioner.
... George MacDonald (1824-1905), “Justice”, in Unspoken Sermons, Third Series, London: Longmans, Green, 1889, p. 124 (see the book)
See also Heb. 1:8-9; Ps. 45:7; 97:10; 101:3; 119:104; Pr. 8:13; Amos 5:15; Rom. 12:9

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, I do not hate my sin enough.
