Luke 24:36-49 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace be to you.… Repentance and pardon are like to the three spring months of the year — March, April, and May. Sin comes in like March — blustering, stormy, and full of bold violence. Repentance succeeds like April — showery, weeping, and full of tears. Pardon follows like May — springing, singing, full of joys and flowers. If our hands have been full of March, with the tempest of unrighteousness, our eyes must be full of April, with the sorrow of repentance; and then our hearts shall be full of May, in the true joy of forgiveness.
