at ingen saaledes som han har
Kray paa din KRrlighed, han,
som elskede dig indtil Korsets
bod; og at alene Mangelen paa
K@rlighed err saa stor en- Synd,
at den burde ydmyge os / Sto-

ham MI like sige DIET, naar du
Tanker paa ham som den Kors-
festede, eller hvor god Gud har
veret imod dig, eller nu, naar
dette Evangelium m6der dig;
du ham da like med Navns
Neynelse sige: Simon, eller hvad
du nu hedder, jeg har noget
at sige dig Def er Jesus, din

dig din store Synd og tunge
Skyld, for at du skal blive stille
og sige: Mester, sig frem!

Kerligheden ogsaa nok til sidst

os andre og for ham, som ser
ale Ting. Og han er jo din enc
ste egentlige Sjeles9rger; hyad
han har sagt dig, Diet kan du
baade leve og do paa.

ser, eller giver den dog den
Plads, som han har Eneretten
It'll; Diet er jo like deres fulde
Alvor, naar de beder: Forlad
os yor Skyldl thi de vii like
selv tilgive de andre deres; ell
Ter naar de beder: Led os like
I'D i Fristelse og vii like bryde
Broen af til de fristende Mag
ter. Og Diet er jo i Grunden
lGuds K@rlighed, naar saadanne
lSjale like kan komme til Fred
def Wide jo vare en- flask Fred,

nelse: Jeg har noget at sige
Dig for at de skal syare: Me

dighed err bedre end Offer, og

rer.
Men dersom Diet like er dette,
dersom du like er dig nogen
Ulydighed bevidst, men Diet er
din stadige Bebrejdelse, at du
elsker 10 like din Frelser, dit
Hjerte er endnu saa koldt, og
derfor mener du, kan du heller
like endnu have faaet Tilgi-
yelse for din Synd = da er Diet
like Livet, men Leren, der fej-
Ter noget: du har en- hel for

er 10 denne stadige Anklage
imod dig selv for like at have
Kerlighed nok netop ct Bevis
paa K9rligheden, som aldrig sy-
mes, at den elsker nok. Og for
def andet er Diet like din K@r-
lighed, som skal frelse dig og
tage imod Guds Tilgivelse, men
Diet er alene Troen. Thi naar
Jesus siger ON Kvinden: Hen
DIES mango Synder er hende for

get saa skal Diet like forstaas,
som ON hendes K@rlighed var
IGrunden til hendes Syndsforla-
