“The man that comes to Christ, is one that has had deep considerations of his own sins, slighting thoughts of his own righteousness, and high thoughts of the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ. Yes, he sees, as I have said, more virtue in the blood of Christ to save him, than there is in all his sins to damn him. He therefore sets Christ before his eyes”.

“Christ is as full in his resolution to save those given to him as is the Father in the giving of them.
Christ prizes the gift of his Father; he will lose nothing of it; he is resolved to save it every whit by his blood, and to raise it up again at the last day; and thus he fulfills his Father's will, and accomplishes his own desires”.

“Christ has more power to save from sin by the sacrifice that he has offered for it, than has all law, devils, death, or sin to condemn”.

“When providences are black and terrible to God's people, the Lord Jesus shows himself to them in a wonderful manner; which sometimes they can as little bear as they can the things that were before terrible to them”.

Psalm 23 helps “Israel’s kings…to understand that being a member of the flock of God was more fundamental than being an appointed shepherd over that flock”.
