Why is it that you and I are not sitting here in this place today indifferent to the word of God, hardened to the gospel? Why are we not at this very hour hearing the word preached with the outward ear only but rejecting it in our hearts? Why is it that we love the word preached, rejoice in the altogether lovely Redeemer, and find a peace of heart that passes knowledge? Have we made ourselves to differ? God forbid! It was as Isaac Watts wrote:
"'Twas the same love which spread the feast
That sweetly forced us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sins."
Henry Mahan
