Dr. Benjamin Grosvenor

"Nay, if you meet that poor wretch who thrust his spear into My side, tell him that there is another way, a better way of coming to My heart—even My heart's love! Tell him, that if he will repent, and look upon Me whom he has pierced, and will mourn—then I will cherish him in that very bosom which he has wounded! Tell him that he shall find the blood which he has shed—to be an ample atonement for the sin of shedding it! And tell him from Me, that he will put Me to more pain and displeasure by refusing this offer of My blood—than when he first drew it forth!"
~ Dr. Benjamin Grosvenor in a sermon entitled "The Temper of Jesus Christ towards His Enemies, and His Grace to the Chief of Sinners"
