Irrepressible Grace

Grace can no more be concealed than fire. Like new wine it will have vent. Grace does not lie in the heart as a stone in the earth, but as a seed in the earth. It will spring up into good works.

-Thomas Watson, The Beatitudes

Mercifully Cruel

There is a cruel mercy when we see men go on in sin and we let them alone, and there is a merciful cruelty when we are sharp against men’s sins and will not let them go to hell quietly. – Thomas Watson, The Beatitudes
