John 12:47-48 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.… When the Duke of Argyle was taken in rebellion in Scotland, and brought before James II, the king said to him, "You know that it is in my power to pardon you." It is reported that the prisoner answered, "It may be in your power, but it is not in your nature" — a speech which, whether true or not, cost him his life, He died like a stoic, executed at Temple Gate. But Christ has both the power and the disposition to pardon sinners. He that rejecteth me...hath one that judgeth Him.
