It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.
R. C. SproulHoliness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.
