Love and
confidence can be awakened by considering that this Lord, though great in
majesty, justice, and hatred of sin, is equally great in goodness and mercy for
sinners. That is why He descended from heaven to earth and assumed our flesh.
For sinners He fasted, traveled, sweat, labored, kept vigil, suffered
persecution and the contradictions of the world. For sinners He preached by day
and prayed and kept vigil by night. For sinners the door of His heart is always
open, so that He will never drive them away, however miserable they may be.
