Thomas Watson said this quote

“ If God spares us as a father does his son, let us imitate God. It is natural for children to imitate their parents. Let us imitate God in this one thing: As God spares us, and passes by many failures, so let us be sparing in our censures of others; let us look upon the weaknesses and indiscretions of our brethren with...a more tender, compassionate eye. How much God bears with us! ”

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

~ Thomas Watson

God can turn stones into bread, and a sinner can turn bread into stones; the bread of life into the stone of stumbling.

~ Thomas Watson

Such as make the sacrament only a representation of Christ do aim short of the mystery, and come short of the comfort.

~ Thomas Watson

We should pray that God would enrich his ordinance with his presence; that he would make the sacrament effectual to all those holy ends and purposes for which he hath appointed it; that it may be the feast of our graces, and the funeral of our corruptions; that it may not only be a sign to represent, but an instrument to convey, Christ to us, and a seal to assure us of our heavenly jointure [union].

~ Thomas Watson
