Looking Unto Jesus, as Carrying on the Great Work of Man's Salvation: Or a View of the Everlasting Gospel (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Looking Unto Jesus, as Carrying on the Great Work of Man's Salvation, or a View of the Everlasting Gospel

The Division and Opening of the Words.

The most excellent subject to discourse or write of, is Jesus Christ. Augustin, after having commended Cicero's works for their eloquence, passed this sentence upon them, "They are not sweet, because the name of Jesus is not in them." And St. Paul determined not to know any thing save Jesus Christ and him crucified. This he made the breadth, and length, and depth and height of his knowledge: "yea doubtless (saith he) and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord."

In the knowledge of Christ, there is an excellency above all other knowledge. There is nothing so pleasing and comfortable, so animating and enlivening! Christ is the sum and centre of all revealed truths: we can preach nothing as the object of our faith, which doth not some way or other, either meet in Christ, or refer to him.
