"The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

"Who want a Savior most? Answer ye this. Should not mercy exercise itself where there is most need for it? This world is like a battlefield, over which the fierce hurricane of conflict has swept, and the surgeons have come to deal with those who lie upon its plains. To whom shall they go first? Shall they not turn first to those who are most terribly wounded, and who are bleeding almost to the death? Will you quarrel with us if we declare that the first to be taken to the hospital should be those who are in the direst need? Will you be angry if we say that the liniment is for the wounded? That the bandages are for the broken limbs and that the medicine is for the sick? A strange quarrel this would be. If ever it should begin, a fool must begin it, for no wise man would ever raise the question. Blessed Christ of God, we will not cavil because thou also comest in Thy mercy to those who need Thee most, even to the lost." -CH Spurgeon
