Christ the best husband

7. Do you desire one that can love you? None can love you like unto Christ: His love is incomparable, and his love is incomprehensible; his love passeth all others love; and it passeth knowledge too; Eph. 3. 19. His love is first, without any beginning; his love is free, without any motive; his love is great, without any measure; his love is constant, without any change; and his love is everlasting, without any end. It was the Love of Christ which brought him down from Heaven, which veiled his Divinity in a Humane Soul and Body; which put upon him the form of a servant; which exposed him to contempt, reproach, and many indignities: It was love which made him subject to hunger, and thirst, and sorrow, and many humane infirmities, which humbled him unto death, even the painful and ignominious death of the Cross; and when out of love he had finished the work of Redemption on earth, as to what was needful by way of satisfaction; it was his love which carried him back to heaven, where he was before, that he might make application of what he had purchased, that there he might make Intercession for those whom he had redeemed, and prepare a place for them, even glorious mansions with himself, in the house not made with hands, which is eternal in the Heavens: It is out of Love that he ⟨p. 23⟩sendeth such tokens to his people from Heaven to Earth, which he conveyeth through his Ordinances by his Spirit unto them; and his love-tokens are infinitely beyond all other love-tokens in worth and excellency; surely then none is so desirable as the Lord Jesus Christ for you to espouse your selves unto. If you be espoused to Christ, he is yours, all that he is, all that he hath; you shall have his heart, and share in the choicest expressions of his dearest Love. And now put all together. The Lord Jesus Christ being incomparable in dignity, in riches, in wisdom, in power, in goodness, in loveliness, and in love; methinks you should need no other motive to persuade you unto willingness to espouse your selves unto him.
