THEY that are coming to Jesus Christ are ofttimes heartily afraid that He will not receive them. This should teach old Christians to pity and pray for young corners. You know the heart of a stranger, for you yourselves were strangers in the land of Egypt. You know the fears, and doubts, and terrors that take hold of them, for that they sometimes took hold of you. Wherefore, pity them, pray for them, encourage them; they need all this; guilt hath overtaken them, fear of the wrath of God hath overtaken them; perhaps they are within the sight of hell-fire; and the fear of going thither is burning hot within their hearts. You may know how strangely Satan is suggesting his devilish doubts unto them; if possible he may sink and drown them with the multitude and weight of them. Old Christians, mend up the path for them, take the stumbling blocks out of the way, lest that which is feeble and weak be turned aside, but let it rather be healed. (Heb. 12) ― Extract (Bunyan).
