The Divine Heart

“He was moved with compassion.”
— Matt. 9:36

“Jesus … could say, "I have glorified thee." The more evil there was done here, the more the Father was glorified. Never did irritation enter into Him; no contradiction ever prevented His having the same heart for man and for God.”

“Ah! when we study Christ's life down here, and what His heart and motives were, how shallow we are, … and how deep and far beyond our view the sufferings of His soul down here!”
