Luke 7:48 And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven. — It is not enough that our sins are pardoned in heaven, but we are to endeavour and seek after the particular assurance of the pardon of them to our own consciences for our further comfort. Unknown things are not desired. How, then, can they be rejoiced in? Say a man be in prison for treason fast bound, and that a pardon is granted to him, yet, till he knows thereof, he can rejoice no more in that his happiness than if he were to be executed the next day. (N. Rogers.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. |
