Well Satisfied
“I
am well satisfied it will not be a burden to me at the hour of death,
nor be laid to my charge at the day of judgment, that I have thought
too highly of the Lord Jesus Christ, expected too much of Him myself,
or labored too much in commending and setting Him forth to others, as
the Alpha and Omega, the Lord our righteousness the sufficient
atonement for sin, the only Mediator between God and men, the true
God and eternal life. On the contrary, alas! My guilt and grief are,
that my thoughts of Him
are so faint, so infrequent, and my commendations of Him so
lamentably cold and disproportionate to what they ought to be.”
-Gospel report by preacher John Newton (1725-1807 A.D.)
