“Look unto the Lord Jesus Christ.
Look unto Him as He hung naked, wounded, bleeding, dead, and forsaken upon the cross.
Look unto Him again as He now reigns in glory, possessed of all power in heaven and in earth, with thousands of thousands of saints and angels worshipping before Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand ministering unto Him.
And then compare your sins with His blood, your wants with His fulness, your unbelief with His faithfulness, your weakness with His strength, your inconstancy with His everlasting love.”
–John Newton, The Works of John Newton, Volume 2 (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1988), 2: 574-575.
