choice gems by Samuel Rutherford, on the beauty and love of Jesus. Ephesians chapter 5 verse 2, Christ loved us, and gave himself up for us, as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.

Every day we may see some new beauty in Jesus. His love has neither brim, nor bottom. Jesus is the great storehouse of heavens wealth. The love of Jesus for his people is a boundless ocean. Let me see your face Lord and it suffices.

Jesus is never to be sought alone but with his cross. the worst that jesus gives us, is better than the worlds best. jesus is not truly valued, until he is valued above all. the love of jesus, is a thousand heavens to the soul. jesus is the fulfillment of all our desires, and the rest of all our souls. the cross of jesus is the ladder by which we climb to heaven.

heaven is not heaven without jesus. every wound of jesus is a mouth that speaks of his redeeming love. i have no joy but jesus. no life but jesus. no boasting but in jesus. Oh, let us be lovesick for Jesus. Jesus is the marrow of the gospel.

The soul that truly loves Jesus, loves him in poverty, in chains, and in reproach. The believer's worst condition, is better than the world's best condition. The cross is the diamond that Jesus wears in his crown. I would choose rather to be a doorkeeper in the house of Jesus, than to reign without him. Oh, that I had a thousand hearts to give to Jesus.

We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John chapter 4, verse 19.

my beloved is mine, and i am his. song of solomon chapter 2, verse 16.

let us fix our eyes on jesus. hebrews chapter 12, verse 2.
