Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 2)

Saul of Tarsus speaks of himself as a chief of sinners "because he persecuted the church of God;" yet he obtained mercy! But those who sin against the light of their own minds, can draw little encouragement from thence. He hath declared the reason of the distinguishing mercy shown to him—"because I did it ignorantly in unbelief." [33] No sooner was he convinced of his mistake, than he returned with, "Lord what will thou have me to do?"—So do not those "who know their master's will and do it not." WOULD we share the blessedness of believing Saul, we must share his repentance; so shall we find mercy with God. "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all, is rich unto all that call upon him." [34]
