Spurgeon
writes "let
us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: “I will
help
thee.” “It is but a small thing for me, thy God, to
help
thee. Consider what I have done already. What! not
help
thee? Why, I bought thee with my blood. What! not
help
thee? I have died for thee; and if I have done the greater, will I not do
the less? Help
thee! It is the least thing I will ever do for thee; I have done more, and
will do more. Before the world began I chose thee. I made the covenant for
thee. I laid aside my glory and became a man for thee; I gave up my life for
thee; and if I did all this, I will surely
help
thee now." |
