Those who have come to Christ aright, have applied to him for relief, when matters to their own apprehension have been at the worst; when all hope has failed them from every other quarter; when they saw their misery and danger as sinners; when they were convinced that by the deeds of the law no flesh living could be justified; when all above, beneath, around, conspired to render their case deplorable, then a ray of heavenly light darted down, and revealed Christ as a willing and all-sufficient Redeemer. The report of the gospel which the sinner had heard and despised a hundred times before, appears now to him fraught with new and inexpressible relish; he tastes a sweetness in those Promises as exceeding great and precious which he formerly disregarded, whilst his spirit rejoices in God his Saviour.
