# Dabney on the Divine Benevolence

“It is our happiness to believe that when we see Jesus weeping over lost Jerusalem, we ‘have seen the Father,’ we have received an insight into the divine benevolence and pity.” — [**Robert L. Dabney**](/authors/robert-lewis-dabney), *God*’*s Indiscriminate Proposals of Mercy as Related to His Power, Wisdom, and Sincerity* in *Discussions*, Vol. 1 (1890), p. 308
