For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. – Luke 19:10

To this day we are visited of God in other respects, but with equal mercy. The proclamation of the gospel in a nation, or to any individual, is a visit of God’s mercy. Whenever you come and hear the gospel, be you sure of this, whether you receive it or not, the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. Even if you stop your ears, and will have none of it, yet God has visited you in tender mercy, in that by the gospel He tells you that there is a way of salvation, that there is a plan for the remission of sin. It is a monstrosity-what if I say a miracle?-of iniquity, that men having sinned, and God having done so much to work out a way of remission of those sins, men should refuse to accept God’s pardoning love. Oh, my hearers, Why are you so besotted? Wherefore do you hate your own souls? Surely, the devils themselves would at the first have scarce believed it, that there could exist a race of creatures so hardened as to refuse the love which visits them in grace. This is what devils never did. Men sin not only against God, but against their own interest, when they turn aside from the wooings of disinterested goodness, and refuse salvation through Him who loved us even to the death. That which God has so tenderly and heartily wrought out in the gift of His dear Son to die for us ought to be received with eagerness. Will not you receive it? …Jesus seeks you, will you not seek Him?~ C.H. Spurgeon
