“Mark the depth and width of our Lord’s sympathies and affections. The Saviour on
whom we are bid to repose the weight of our sinful souls is one whose love passeth
knowledge.

Shallow, skin-deep feelings in others, we all know continually chill and disappoint
us on every side in this world.

But there is One whose mighty heart affection knows no bottom. That one is Christ.”

–J.C. Ryle, [_Expository Thoughts on John, Volume 3_](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0851515061?tag=toletaupanre-20)(
New York: Robert Carter & Brothers, 1880), 312. Ryle is commenting on John 19:26-
