It is a solemn thought, that many sinners who hear the gospel, hate Jesus. Hate Jesus! Yes, though He is infinitely wise, exquisitely beautiful, perfect in holiness, unparalleled in goodness, almighty in power, and the very personification of love!
Jesus, who is represented by the gentle lamb, the fructifying dew, the safe refuge, the fragrant rose, the desire of all nations, and the altogether lovely one!
Jesus, who left Heaven and its glories, came and labored on earth, suffered unparalleled indignities and pains, died for sinners on the accursed tree, and now pleads in Heaven for all who seek salvation by Him.
Jesus, who is both able and willing to pardon all their sins, to lift them up to Heaven and who has power and authority to thrust those who hate Him down to Hell.
O what folly, what madness to hate Jesus and yet multitudes do so!
