If sin be the Greatest Evil, Then it is the Greatest Mercy in the world to be rid of sin. The greater the evil is, the greater is the mercy to be rid of it. But now sin is the Greatest Evil.
And therefore you shall see it set down as the only mercy that comes in by Christ, Mat. 1.25—He shall be called JESUS, because he shall save his people from their sins.
As if all other things coming in by Christ, were included in this one, He shall save his people from their sins. He doth not say— He shall save his people from Hell, &c, but, From sin: From no other evil in the world. And this is the Greatest Mercy.
