The first sermon that Christ preached, indeed, the first word of his sermon was 'Repent'.

Thomas Watson

Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.

Thomas Watson

Truth is unerring; it is the star which leads to Christ. Truth is pure (Psa 119:140)

Thomas Watson

Repentance is a pure gospel grace. The covenant of works admitted no repentance; there it was, sin and die. Repentance came in by the gospel. Christ has purchased in his blood that repenting sinners shall be saved.

Thomas Watson

Christ heals with more ease than any other. Christ makes the devil go out with a word (Mark 9:25). Nay, he can cure with a look: Christ's look melted Peter into repentance; it was a healing look. If Christ doth but cast a look upon the soul he can recover it. Therefore David prays to have a look from God, 'Look Thou upon me, and be merciful unto me' (Psalm 119:132).

Thomas Watson

There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.
