"There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us." For that reason, "there can be no danger in thoroughly dealing [with ourselves]. It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell." So, he went on to say, let's not be unwilling to face the unhappy truth about ourselves and to keep facing it, "until sin be the sourest, and Christ the sweetest, of all things." [Works, I, 47-48] 17th century Puritan, Richard Sibbes
