We Are Never Nearer Christ

Your State Is Not At All To Be Measured By The Opposition That Sin Makes To You, But By The Opposition You Make To It.

Leanness Of Body And Soul May Go Together.

Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing Into A Man, But Only Draw Out What Was In Him Before.

The Beauty Of The Person Of Christ, As Represented In The Scripture, Consists In Things Invisible Unto The Eyes Of Flesh. They Are Such As No Hand Of Man Can Represent Or Shadow. It Is The Eye Of Faith Alone That Can See This King In His Beauty. What Else Can Contemplate On The Untreated Glories Of His Divine Nature? Can The Hand Of Man Represent The Union Of His Natures In The Same Person, Wherein He Is Peculiarly Amiable? What Eye Can Discern The Mutual Communications Of The Properties Of His Different Natures In The Same Person?

On Christ’s Glory I Would Fix All My Thoughts And Desires, And The More I See Of The Glory Of Christ, The More The Painted Beauties Of This World Will Wither In My Eyes And I Will Be More And More Crucified To This World. It Will Become To Me Like Something Dead And Putrid, Impossible For Me To Enjoy.
