Now we want no other rock to build upon, than that which we have built upon; we desire no other hope, nor even dream of any other, but that hope which you have set before us in the gospel, that hope in which we have fled for refuge, and which hope we still have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.
But Lord, we would still begin again this morning by looking unto Jesus Christ anew—whatever may be our sin, whatever your pure and holy eye can see amiss in us, which we cannot see: we desire to come to Jesus as sinners, guilty, lost, ruined by nature, and again to give the faith look, and to behold him hanging on the cross for us.
Amen.
