"Just because the crier - if we may use this figure for comparison - travels up and down the streets and alleys of the village to invite all to the auction sale, does this cancel out the condition that he really is inviting only: (1) those who desire to buy something; (2) those who have money to buy; and (3) those who have opportunity to go t the auction? By this illustration we can clearly see that by sating all these exceptions, one distorts the nature of the dispute, does not at all advance a solution, and unnecessarily prevents a meeting of the minds.
The only way by which you achieve clarity is to inquire about the intention of God and proceed directly to what thoughts filled the heart of Christ when he, the Son of God, died." - Abraham Kuyper, Particular Grace
