We would never commit a sin!
(Charles Spurgeon, "How God Condemned Sin")
Such are the assemblage of graces found only in Jesus, each sparkling with peerless luster, and all blending with such exquisite gracefulness - that we are at once moved with awe and touched with love as we contemplate Him.
Such majesty - and yet such meekness in His demeanor.
Such solemnity - and yet such tenderness in His speech.
So impartial in judgment - and yet so forgiving in temper.
So full of zeal - and yet so equally full of patience.
So keen to detect malice - and yet so slow to resent it.
Such a wise mentor - and yet such a gentle sympathizing friend.
Jesus was perfectly . . .
innocent,
harmless,
gentle,
meek,
loving,
tender.
All His words were love.
All His actions were kindness.
We would never commit a sin, if we would but first say to ourselves, "Would Jesus have done this?"
