  • Christ heals with more ease than any other. Christ makes the devil go out with a word (Mark 9:25). Nay, he can cure with a look: Christ's look melted Peter into repentance; it was a healing look. If Christ doth but cast a look upon the soul he can recover it. Therefore David prays to have a look from God, 'Look Thou upon me, and be merciful unto me' (Psalm 119:132).

    Thomas Watson, Hamilton Smith (2009). “Extracts from the Writings of Thomas Watson”, p.21, Scripture Truth
  • Though we as Christians are like Christ, having the first fruits of the spirit, yet we are unlike him, having the remainders of the flesh.

    Thomas Watson (1794). “A Body of Practical Divinity Consisting of Above One Hundred and Seventy-six Sermons on the Shorter Catechism Composed by the Reverend Assembly of Divines at Westminster: With a Supplement of Some Sermons on Several Texts of Scripture Together with the Art of Divine Contentment ; to which is Added, Christ's Various Fulness”, p.98
  • It was wonderful love that Christ should rather die for us than for the angels that fell. They were creatures of a more noble extract, and in all probability might have brought greater revenues of glory to God; yet that Christ should pass by those golden vessels, and make us clods of earth into stars of glory -- Oh, the hyperbole of Christ's love!

  • Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.

    Thomas Watson, R. Armstrong (1816). “The Christian Soldier: Or, Heaven Taken by Storm, Shewing the Holy Violence a Christian is to Put Forth in the Pursuit After Glory. To which is Added: The Happiness of Drawing Near to God, and The Saint's Desire to be with Christ”, p.25
  • Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.

  • There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.

    Thomas Watson (1692). “A Body of Practical Divinity: Consisting of Above 176 Sermons on the Lesser Catechism”, p.565
  • Prayer is the offering up of our desires to God in the name of Christ, for such things as are agreeable to his will. It is an offering of our desires. Desires are the soul and life of prayer; words are but the body; now as the body without the soul is dead, so are prayers unless they are animated with our desires.

  • Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint's prayer is put into the bow of Christ's intercession it pierces the throne of grace.

  • A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.
