Without the spirit of the Lord Jesus, we will look upon 'the least of these' simply as the least.
Sinclair B. FergusonThe holiness of God teaches us that there is only one way to deal with sin- radically, seriously, painfully, constantly. If you do not so live, you do not live in the presence of the Holy One of Israel.

We can therefore wait for Him with this happy confidence: "As for God, His way is perfect" (2 Samuel 22:31).
