Jesus Came Leaping by William
Dyer. The voice of my beloved, look,
here he comes, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the
hills. Song of Songs 2.8. The scriptures
tell us that Jesus came leaping. He came with such love that he
came leaping. When a man goes leaping, you
may know that it was with a great eagerness. Jesus came leaping. How so? He came leaping from
the throne to the womb, from the womb to the cradle, from
the cradle to the cross, and from thence to the throne again. This was his great leap, O sirs,
O sirs, how eagerly did Jesus suffer and die for poor believers! Christ is the richest jewel in
the cabinet of glory. He is the sparkling pearl of
great price. Whoever has Him cannot be poor. Whoever lacks Him cannot be rich. Christ's members are the happiest. Christ's comforts are the sweetest. Christ's reward is the highest. Christ's precepts are the purest. Christ's glory is the greatest. Christ's love is the truest. Christ's riches are the most
precious. O sirs, Christ is the glory of
God, the paradise of angels, the beauty of heaven, the redeemer
of men.
