My brother Darryl, I cannot see any other conclusion.

The Unlimited Christ of glory reaches as far as sin and death has invaded. His very first mission, as the resurrected Christ, is to the disobedient prisoners of sin and despair.

"No more let sin and sorrow grow, nor thorns infest the ground, He comes to make His blessings flow.....

Far as the curse is found."
