Divine love saw lost ones-saw in its full extent the misery which it alone was adequate to relieve; and that misery, so hopeless otherwise, brought it down on their behalf. The Creator becomes the Savior. He "goeth after that which is lost, until He find it.”
With divine power and wisdom in pursuit, there is no uncertainty here as to success. Help is laid upon One who is mighty, with whom to fail would be irretrievable disaster, convulsing heaven and earth in universal ruin. But there can be no failure; the cause of the helpless is become the cause of the Almighty "to the praise of the glory of His grace." God only can tell me what He is, or what Christ did for me, or how my soul can be at peace with Him.
For all this, I must listen to the Word alone. It alone can bring in the true eternal light in which conscience and heart alike find their rest and satisfaction forever.
