The more you know of Him—',

The more you know of Him—the more you will prize Him!

"He is precious!" 1 Peter 2:7

Yes! Jesus is precious to every believer. However Christians may differ upon some points, they all agree in this, JESUS IS PRECIOUS! They cannot always feel towards Him as they wish—but have always one and the same opinion of Him.

He is precious . . .
in His person,
in His word,
in His work,
in His blood,
in His righteousness, 
in His intercession!

He is precious . . .
as our Prophet, 
as our Priest,
as our King!

He is precious . . .
in every name He wears,
in every character He bears,
in every relation He fills, and
in every office He sustains.

He is so precious, that none can be compared with Him. His people love Him—but none of them think they love Him enough. They adore Him—but mourn over their lack of fervour when addressing Him. They prefer Him above all things, and consider Him altogether lovely!

Do you find Christ precious this morning? If He was to be sold—what would you give for Him? He is precious to poor, sensible sinners; to strong believers; to holy angels; and to God our heavenly Father. Is He so to you? Live near to Him, be intimate with Him—and you will feel Him precious. The more you know of Him—the more you will prize Him!

"Yes, He is altogether lovely! This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend!" Song of Songs 5:16
