Christ’s loving kindness to His people never changes, and
never fails. It is a deep well, of which
no one ever found the bottom. It began
from all eternity, before they were born.
It chose, called, and quickened them when they were dead in trespasses
and sins. It drew them to God and
changed their character, and put a new will in their minds, and a new song in
their mouths. It has borne with them in
all their waywardness and shortcomings.
It will never allow them to be separated from God. It will flow ever forward, like a mighty
river, through the endless ages of eternity.
Christ’s love and mercy must be a sinner’s plea when he first begins his
journey. Christ’s love and mercy will be
his only plea when he crosses the dark river and enters home. Let us seek to know this love by inward
experience, and prize it more. Let it
constrain us more continually to live, not to ourselves, but to Him who died
for us and rose again. (JC Ryle)
