Commentary from John Gill’s commentary online (free):
“24:18… among all the terrible words spoken concerning the penalty of sin, the most terrible are those which were uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ, the most loving and tender of all teachers. Measure not a man’s true tenderness of heart by his avoidance of the subject of the wrath to come.'” Charles Spurgeon
Soli Deo Gloria!
