.....If Christ accepts of you, you need not fear but that you will be safe; for he is a strong lion for your defence.  And if you come, you need not fear but that you shall be accepted; for he is like a Lamb to all that come to him, and receives them with infinite grace and tenderness.  It is true he has awful majesty; he is the great God, and infinitely high above you; but there is this to encourage and embolden the poor sinner, that Christ is man as well as God; he is a creature, as well as the Creator; and he is the most humble and lowly in heart of any creature in heaven or earth.  This may well make the poor unworthy creature bold in coming to him.  You need not hesitate one moment; but may run to him, and cast yourself upon him.  You will certainly be graciously and meekly received by him.  Though he is a lion, he will only be a lion to your enemies; but he will be a lamb to you.  It could not have been conceived, had it not been so in the person of Christ, that there could have been so much in any Saviour, that is inviting, and tending to encourage sinners to trust in him.  Whatever your circumstances are, you need not be afraid to come to such a Saviour as this.  Be you never so wicked a creature, here is worthiness enough; be you never so poor, and mean, and ignorant a creature, there is no danger of being despised; for though he be so much greater than you, he is immensely more humble than you.  Any one of you that is a father or mother, will not despise one of your own children that comes to you in distress; much less danger is there of Christ despising you, if you in your heart come to him.
