The Forgiving Mercy of God
John 6:37
All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.


It is reported of Julius Caesar, that he never entertained hatred against any so deeply but he was willing to lay down the same upon the tender of submission. As when C. Memnius put in for the consulship, he befriended him before others of the competition, notwithstanding that Memnius had made bitter invectives against him. Thus the great God of Heaven, to whom all the Caesars and kings of the earth are tributaries and homagers, doth never hate so irreconcilably but that true humiliation will work a reconciliation — let but the sinner appear before Him in a submissive posture, and His anger will be soon appeased.

(J. Spencer.)
