Christ is an incomprehensible blessing. Whatever God can require for satisfaction or we can need for salvation, is to be found in Christ. His name is the sweetest music to a Christian's ear, and his blood the most precious balm to a Christian's heart.
The godly in this life are like scattered pearls; they he distant from each other, and are dispersed into several regions; but there is a day coming, when God will gather his saints “unto him" as one places his pearls on a string. “In the day that he makes up his jewels."
God's Church is the apple of his eye, and the eyelid of his providence doth daily cover and defend it.
Christ preserves his church as a spark in the ocean, as a flock of sheep among wolves.
If the enemies destroy the church, it must be at a time when there is neither day nor night, for Christ keeps it day and night. Isa. xxxvii 3.
Thomas Watson
