"The more bitterness we taste in sin—
the more sweetness we shall taste in Christ."
Thomas Watson
Backsliding Christian, go at once to the cross!There, and there only, can you get your spiritquickened. No matter how hard, how insensible, how dead you may have become, go again in all your rags and poverty. Clasp that cross! Look into those languid eyes! Bathe in that fountain filled with blood! This will bring back your first love. This will restore the simplicity of your faith, and the tenderness of your heart.
CH Spurgeon
