Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.

Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.

You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.

When we believe that God hears us, it is but natural that we should be eager to hear Him. Only from Him can come the word which can speak peace to troubled spirits; the voices of men are feeble in such a case, a plaster far too narrow for the sore; but God's voice is power, He speaks and it is done, and hence when we hear Him our distress is ended.

Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.

It is wonderful how God works by our hands, and yet His own hand does it all.

You never hear Jesus say in Pilate's judgement hall one word that would let you imagine that He was sorry that He had undertaken so costly a sacrifice for us. When His hands are pierced, when He is parched with fever, His tongue dried up like a shard of pottery, when His whole body is dissolved into the dust of death, you never hear a groan or a shriek that looks like Jesus is going back on His commitment.
