From Stephen Charnock:
Not all the vials of judgment that have or shall be poured out upon the wicked world, nor the flaming furnace of a sinner's conscience, nor the irreversible sentence pronounced against the rebellious demons, nor the groans of the damned creatures, give such a demonstration of God's hatred of sin, as the wrath of God let loose upon His Son.
Never did Divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely than at the time our Saviour's countenance was marred in the midst of His dying groans. This He Himself acknowledges in Psalm 22. When God had turned His smiling face from Him, and thrust His sharp knife into His heart, which forced that terrible cry from Him, 'My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?' He adores this perfection—Thou art holy.
(Quote from AW Pink, The Attributes of God [Baker, 1975], 54).
