DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the astonishing love of God, reflecting on how,
despite our sinful nature and the fact that we have out-sinned many, God
has graciously bestowed His gifts upon us. He invites us to marvel at
this condescending love, reminding us of our former state of misery and
how the King of kings has chosen to share His Spirit, grace, and glory
with us. Brooks encourages us to recognize the depth of this love and
the eternal commitment of Christ to us, declaring that all He is and has
will be ours forever.

Sit down and wonder at the matchless love of God.

Oh! what is in us--that should cause the Lord to give such

gifts to us as He has given? We were all equal in sin and

misery; nay, doubtless, we have actually outsinned

thousands, to whom these precious gifts are denied. Let

us therefore sit down and wonder at this condescending

love of God. Oh! we were once poor wretches sitting upon

the ash-heap, yes, wallowing in our blood--and yet behold!

The King of kings, the Lord of lords, has so far condescended

in His love, as to bestow Himself, His Spirit, His grace, and

all the jewels of His royal crown upon us! Oh! what heart can

conceive, what tongue can express, this matchless love!

"I will be yours forever," says Christ, "and My Spirit shall

be yours forever, and My grace yours forever, and My glory

yours forever, and My righteousness yours forever. All I am

and all I have--shall be yours forever!" O what matchless

love is this! Oh! what a Christ is this!
