God's Mercy towards those in the Most Deplorable Condition
In a word, Jerusalem was now become the shambles, the very slaughter-shop for saints …wherein the prophets, Christ and his people were most horribly persecuted and murdered…This is the city and these are the people; this is their character and these are their sins.
I will now show you what it is to preach the gospel to them: [to announce] repentance and remission of sins in Christ's Name.. to bid them to repent and believe the gospel [Luke 24:47; Mark 1:15].
Christ would have Jerusalem have the first offer of the gospel. Not because they had any more right than any of the nations of the world, [but to manifest] his mere grace… compassion… and mercy [to those] in the most deplorable condition of any people under the heavens.
