“See here the love of Christ in its most distinguishing glory. For the deeper He
debased and the lower He humbled Himself, the higher did He raise, and the more 
clearly did He manifest His love.

What heart can conceive, what tongue can express, the greatness of this love! It
is love without a precedent or parallel. It passeth knowledge.

Accept of Jesus Christ as He offers Himself in the gospel. He is willing to receive
sinners, nay, the very worst and most abandoned of them, or He would not have swam
through a sea of blood to catch them.

O! be not despisers, but cheerful and willing receivers, of Him who has written 
His love and good will to you in characters of blood.”
