He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He watches us with a gaze which is not for a moment diverted from us. He sees us through the storm. He sits beside the molten metal. He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry.
Sin is one of the greatest facts in our history.
It is impossible to ignore it. You cannot explain man unless you take it into account. Burdened one, groaning under the load of sin, remember that he bare thy sins in his own body on the tree. Approach the holy God, reminding him of that fact, and daring on account of it to stand unabashed and accepted in his sight. Them that are tempted.
