Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now i see.
John NewtonChrist has taken our nature into Heaven to represent us; and has left us on earth, with His nature, to represent Him.
John NewtonIf two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule earthโs grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its meanest village, it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot, the post of ruler or the post of scavenger; for the joy of the angels lies only in obedience to Godโs will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abrahamโs bosom, or be a chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home.
