Pray for the salvation of your children, because by their salvation, granted in answer to your prayers, the divine Saviour will be glorified. Jesus is the great deliverer. He is the deliverer of his people from eternal misery, and he is the author of their eternal blessedness. It was his love for them which constrained him to die for their salvation. When any are actually saved—saved in spite of the fearful difficulties in the way and the opposition of Satan and all his hosts—his design in dying is so far accomplished. Thus, whenever a sinner is saved, Jesus is victorious—he is glorified, a new star is added to his crown.
