Repentance is a return unto God. The Hebrew word for “repentance” is “return.” Repentance is unto life. Repentance is when Jesus Christ the crucified is beheld; as it is said in the prophet Zechariah, “They shall look unto me whom they have pierced, and shall mourn for me.” Repentance is when the kingdom of God is brought nigh, and the voice of John the Baptist is heard: “Turn; for the love of God has come to visit you.” Repentance is when the prodigal says, “I will arise and go to my Father.” Oh! However tearful and sad repentance may be, there is a note of joy in it; there is in it a pulsation of love, a beginning of life. When a sinner sees the holiness of God in a crucified Savior, who loved us even unto the end, then he returns unto Him; he repents; he sees the exceeding sinfulness of sin, and thirsts after God.
