His Name Is Jesus, Jesus,
Sad Hearts Weep No More
He Has Healed The Broken Hearted,
Opened Wide The Prison Door;
He Is Able To Deliver Evermore
The underlying purpose in every act of discipline, of course, must be love: love for the individual, love for the church, love for the watching world, love for Christ. God, after all, “disciplines the one He loves”; and “He chastens everyone He accepts as His son” (Heb. 12:6). By abstaining from discipline, we claim that we love better than God.
Jonathan Leeman
