Christ, our Lord, is presented in the gospel as undivided in His offices. He is Prophet, Priest, and King. The Father will not permit Him to be divided. Some would have Him as Saviour but not as Sovereign. Some would have His teaching but not His atonement. Some would enjoy the crown but not the cross. My friend, it will be the complete Christ or no Christ. The gospel holds out no hope to the man who will not hear Him, be cleansed by His blood, and bow to Him as Lord. Pastor Henry Mahan

-----O-----

After some years of experience, the Christian comes to know, better than he did at first, how much the gospel suits him. He finds that its simplicity suits his bewilderment; its grace suits his sinfulness; its power is suitable to his weakness; its comfort is suitable to his despondency; and the more he grows, the more he loves the gospel of the grace of God.

C. H. Spurgeon

-----O-----

A gospel which is after men will be welcomed by men; but it needs a divine operation upon the heart and mind to make a man willing to receive into his inmost soul this distasteful gospel of the grace of God
