13. He shall spare the poor and needy. His pity
will be manifested to them; he will not allow their trials to overwhelm them;
his rod of correction will fall lightly; he will be sparing of his rebukes, and
not sparing in his consolations. And shall save the souls of the needy.
His is the dominion of souls, a spiritual and not a worldly empire; and the
needy, that is to say, the consciously unworthy and weak, will find that he
will give them his salvation. Jesus calls not the righteous, but sinners to
repentance. We ought to be anxious to be among these needy ones whom the great
King so highly favors.
