He thought it worth while to die for the sake of redeeming the souls of men; what sacrifices are we prepared to make in contributing to the same end? He gave His life; will we give up our ease, our effort, our money? It was because He believed every single soul was more precious than a world that He died to save the souls of men. Are they precious in our eyes? Does their fate haunt us? Does their sin grieve us? Would their salvation fill us with aught of the joy that thrills the angels in heaven when one sinner is converted?

James Stalker, Imago Christi, p. 52
