High in heaven, at God’s right hand, Jesus still looks with compassion on the children of men. He still pities the ignorant, and them that are out of the way. He is still willing to teach them many things. Special as his love is towards his own sheep who hear his voice, he still has a mighty general love towards all mankind – a love of real pity, a love of compassion. We must not overlook this. It is a poor theology which teaches that Christ cares for none except believers. There is warrant in Scripture for telling the chief of sinners that Jesus pities them, and cares for their souls, that Jesus is willing to save them, and invites them to believe and be saved. J. C. Ryle
