Think, then, of the Cross and his rich mercy, his free, immeasurable, everlasting mercy, whose "blood maketh the foulest clean." If you are the greatest sinner in the world, then have you the greatest need of Christ, and what is more, the greatest encouragement to come to him. There is room for the greatest sinner, because there is room for the least. The least has sinned enough to perish without an interest in the Cross, and the greatest has not sinned so much but the Cross may be honored in his salvation.
Gardiner Spring — Chapter XI, "The Greatness of Sin No Obstacle to Salvation by the Cross," in The Attraction of the Cross: Designed to Illustrate the Leading Truths, Obligations and Hopes of Christianity (New York: M. W. Dodd, 1846), p. 201
