That love will eternally embrace you!
(by Richard Baxter)
Is it a small thing in your eyes
to be loved by God—to be . . .
the child,
the spouse,
the love,
the delight
of the King of glory?
Christian, believe this, and think about it—you
will be eternally embraced in the arms of the
love which was from everlasting, and will extend
to everlasting—of the love which brought the
Son of God's love . . .
from heaven to earth;
from earth to the cross;
from the cross to the grave;
from the grave to glory;
that love which was . . .
weary,
hungry,
tempted,
scorned,
scourged,
buffeted,
spit upon,
crucified,
pierced;
that love which . . .
fasted,
prayed,
taught,
healed,
wept,
sweat,
bled,
died.
That love will eternally embrace you!
