Sermons of Horatius Bonar

Excerpt

Divine Compassion

“It repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”—Gen 6:6

The manner in which God here acknowledges man as his handiwork is specially to be noted. The words are, “It repented the Lord that he had made man upon earth.” It is not said generally, “that man had been made”; but definitely, that “he had made man.” He had spoken of man in his primeval goodness, as coming from his hand; so now he does not fail to remind us that it is this same man, this very race, that has now become so worthless and hateful.
