"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son."
If you would know God's love, consider His gift; for His love is as great as His gift, and it will heighten both if we consider the objects of this love, on whom this gift was bestowed- a world of sinners-yet in their sin, and in the very height of their enmity against God.
0 the height and depth of that love which comprehends two such extremes! What can be conceived more distant from, or more unsuitable to each other! But, behold, divine love brings them both together, and gives the Son of God to man in the extreme of his guilt and misery.
