“Jesus is no longer visible upon earth; but he has promised his
spiritual presence to abide with his word, ordinances and people, to the
end of time. Weary and heavy laden souls have now no need to take a
long journey to seek him, but he is always near them, and in a spiritual
manner, where his Gospel is preached. . . . Therefore, come unto him.
That is, raise your hearts, and breathe forth your complaints to him. . .
. He is just such a Savior as your circumstances require, as you
yourself could wish for.”
John Newton, Works (Edinburgh, 1988), II:462.
