The power of re-creation

[greenbaggins]

Richard Sibbes says it well:

There was no such love as Christ's to become a servant, there was no such misery as we were in, out of which we were delivered by this abasement of Christ becoming a servant; so it is wondrous in that regard, springing from the infinite love and mercy of God, which is greater in the work of redemption and reconciliation than in the creation of the world, for the distance between nothing and something was less than the distance between sin and happiness (from the Works of Richard Sibbes, volume 1, p. 7).​

I really love "A Description of Christ." It is a beautiful little treatise.

Here is something else from Richard Sibbes:

I actually re-acquired volume 1 last week for £4. I had the 7 volumes years ago, but got rid of them as I thought I would never read them. Recently, I have managed to pick up 4 of them at a reduced rate. Sibbes is always worth dipping in to, so you may as well get the whole set if you can.

Only the good fashion accessories die young.
