Chief of sinners. ( 1 Timothy 1 v 15 )

A well loved minister was retiring ,and in his closing address he said the following, there are two important things I have learned, that I am a great sinner, and I have a great Saviour. Let us never underestimate our sinful condition,we are all sinners, and let none us think that we do not need a Saviour,an old Puritan wrote this , 'Grant me never to lose sight of the exceeding sinfulness of sin.'  Yet for all of us there is hope, it is to be found in Jesus who died that we might be forgiven, for He is a great Saviour.
