If men have no inward grief on account of their ingratitude to a dying Savior it indicates a lack of love to Him, and that they have not a just sense of the evil and malignity of their sin.
To think of the love of Jesus to my poor soul manifested in His sorrows, His sufferings, His agonies, and the shedding of His precious blood pierces my heart, and makes me loathe myself in my own sight. While I look to Him upon the cross whom I have pierced by my sins, surely I ought to mourn and be in bitterness, as one who mourns for the death of his firstborn.
Shall not I shed tears of grief for those sins, for which my Redeemer shed His precious blood?
[John Fawcett]
Psalm 25:11 ... For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
