Like Sunlight

Puritan Henry Smith writes:

All are not saved by Christ’s death, but all which are saved are saved by Christ’s death; His death is sufficient to save all, as the sun is sufficient to lighten; but if any man wink, the sun will not give him light.

The sufficiency of Christ’s death is what is key, not necessarily the intention.

Like the sun’s illumination, Christ’s death bathes all mankind in the opportunity to see, and understand and believe and be saved. Even though there are a huge number of people who will walk though life with their eyes tightly shut, there are still many who will not.
