JESUS CHRIST-MERCY
Let your
tears fall because of sin; but, at the same time, let the eye of faith steadily
behold the Son of man lifted up, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, that those who are bitten by the old serpent may look unto Jesus
and live. Our sinnership
is that emptiness into which the Lord pours his mercy.
C.H. Spurgeon
The more
affected we are with our misery, the fitter for Christ’s mercy.
