One night a friend questioned him [Peter Marshall] about whether he really thought we shall ever have to stand before God on a Judgment Day and hear the roll call of our sins.
"Yes, the Bible makes it quite clear," Peter answered promptly. "Some day somewhere, somehow, there will be an accounting for each of us."
He paused and seemed lost in thought as he stirred his third cup of tea. "I think I may have to go through the agony of hearing all my sins recited in the presence of God.
"But I believe it will be like this- Jesus will come over and lay His hand across my shoulders and say to God, 'Yes, all these things are true, but I'm here to cover up for Peter. He is sorry for all his sins, and by a transaction made between us, I am solely responsible for them.'"
