The FaithFul of God

No lover of the Lord Jesus has ever said that he has

had enough of Christ’s love. Never did he who drinks
of the wine of Christ’s love become satiated or even
content with it; he ever desires more and yet more of it.”
-from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Better Than Wine”

One inconceivable beauty!
There is nothing in the Lord Jesus Christ that we could
wish to have taken away from him; there is nothing in
his love that is impure, nothing that is unsatisfactory.
Our precious Lord is comparable to the most fine gold;
there is no alloy in him; no, there is nothing that can
be compared with him, for “He is altogether lovely,”
all perfections melted into one perfection, and all
beauties combined into one inconceivable beauty.
-from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Better Than Wine”

Better than any earthly pleasure!
The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon,
A REFRESHING CANTICLE

The impression which the love of Christ makes
on the true believer is far greater and deeper than
the impression which is made by anything earthly.

Mere mortal joys write their record on the sand,
and their memory is soon effaced; but Christ’s
love is like an inscription cut deeply into marble,
the remembrance of it is deeply engraven in our hearts.

The joy of the creature is something like a lithograph
cut lightly on the stone; when the stone is cleaned, the
picture is gone; but the love of Christ is like the steel
engraving, it is deeply cut, and cannot be easily erased.

Earthly joys tread with light feet, and leave but a faint
impression; but the love of Christ treads into the very
core of our soul at every footstep, and therefore it is
that we remember it better than we remember any
earthly pleasure.

Never enough!
