That Christ hath lost none of his affections to poor sinners, by going to heaven.
Oh! how did his bowels work towards sinners, when he was on earth? And certainly they work as strongly towards them now he is in heaven. His love, his heart, his good will is as much towards them as ever. Christ is Alpha, and Omega, 1the phrase is taken from the Greek letters, whereof Alpha 2is the first, and Omega the last. I am before all, and I am after all. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to day, and for ever. Christ is the same before time, in time, and after time. Christ is unchangeable in his Essence, in his Promises, and in his Love to poor sinners.
