How sweet a gospel lesson is folded up under these verses!

Yes! dearest Lord Jesus, I will bear testimony to thy clemency, for when thou hadst brought me home to thyself, and made me thy captive in the day of thy power; then it was. O Lord, that I discovered the truth of that blessed scripture: This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them. Luke 15:2.
