Mercy to the Feeble Christian
J.C. Ryle Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: John, volume 3, 456, 457.
“Let us never set down men in a low place, as graceless and godless, because their faith is feeble and their love is cold. Let us remember the case of Thomas, and be very pitiful and of tender mercy. Our Lord has many weak children in His family, many dull pupils in His school, many raw soldiers in His army, many lame sheep in His school. Yet He bears with them all, and casts none away. “Happy is that Christian who has learned to deal likewise with his brethren. There are many in the Church, who, like Thomas, are dull and slow, but for all that, like Thomas, are real and true believers.”
Now there are some profound thoughts! Lord, please help me to be mindful of my brothers and sisters and especially help them to be mindful of me.
