Christs temptation and transfiguration practically explained and improved in several sermons /

1. The way of Reconciliation with God, manifested and discovered out of his intimate Love to us. Man had fallen from the Love of God to the creature, and was conscious to himself of having displeased his Maker, and so lay under the fears of his vindictive Justice. Now God by Christ declareth his Love to the offender, in the fullest and most astonishing way, Reconciling himself to him, and showeth his readiness to forgive, and save him, 1 Tim. 1. 15. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the World to save sinners, of whom I am chief, and 2 Cor. 5. 19. God was in Christ reconciling the World to himself. Oh what should be more welcome to the creature than this news, of ⟨p. 173⟩this pardoning Covenant founded in the Blood of Christ.
