Jonathan EdwardsWhat self-righteous persons take to themselves, is the same work that Christ was engaged in when He was in His agony and bloody sweat, and when He died on the cross, which was the greatest thing that ever the eyes of angels beheld.

Yet this is the part which self-righteous persons go about to accomplish for themselves.
