distrust God's care and goodness ? So was Jesus. — Are they ever tempted to presume on God's mercy, and run into danger without warrant ? So also was Jesus. — Are they ever tempted to commit some one great private sin for the sake of some great seeming advantage ? So also was Jesus. — Are they ever tempted to listen to some mis- application of Scripture, as an excuse for doing wrong ? So also was Jesus. — He is just the Saviour that a tempted people require. Let them flee to Him for help, and spread before Him all their troubles. They will find His ear ever ready to hear, and His heart ever ready to feel. He can understand their sorrows.
May we all know the value of a sympathizing Saviour by experience ! There is nothing to be compared to it in this cold and deceitful world. Those who seek their hapj)iness in this life only, and despise the religion of the Bible, have no idea what true comfort they are missing.
