Injustice is more than a political dysfunction. It is a spiritual evil, a denial of God. And by now the mess we’ve made is so far advanced, so systemic, so overwhelming, its beyond our correction. – Ray Ortlund Sr., Isaiah: God Saves Sinners
Wesley and Whitefield may preach better than I can, but they cannot preach a better gospel. – C.H. Spurgeon
There was no abasement ever so deep as Christ’s was, in a double regard. First, None ever went so low as he, for he suffered the wrath of God, and bore upon him the sins of us all; none was ever so low. And then in another respect his abasement was greatest because He descended from the highest top of glory; and for Him to be man, to be a servant, to be a curse, to suffer the wrath of god, to be the lowest of all – Lord, wither doest Thou descend? – Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed
Shall God be abased and man proud? – Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed
There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us. – Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

Your sermon has been on my mind all day. I keep thinking of how impossible it is for us as humans to truly grasp the concept of the Cross. I love how Matthew and Isaiah tell us that God chose Jesus and He is the Father’s delight – and that is how God will see us through the blood of Jesus. I’m sure my human mind only truly grasps a whisp of His love.
Thank you for letting God speak to us through you.
