'It is God who sought that the world should be reconciled. Man did not seek it. He had no plan for it. He did not desire it. He had no way to effect it. It was the offended party, not the offending, that sought to be reconciled; and this shows the strength of his love.
It was love for enemies and alienated beings, and love evinced to them by a most earnest desire to become their friend, and to be at agreement with them.”
C.H. Spurgeon
