CHRIST,
LOVE OF

I am nothing, I have nothing. I desire nothing but the love of Jesus in Jerusalem.

Walter Hilton

He loved us not because we were lovable, but because He is Love.

C.S. Lewis

The love of Christ is like the blue sky, into which you may see clearly, but the real vastness of which you cannot measure.

Robert Murray McCheyne

Live on Christ’s love while ye are here, and all the way.

Samuel Rutherford

Christ loved you before you loved him.

He loved you when there was nothing good in you.

He loved you though you insulted him,

though you despised him and rebelled against him.

He has loved you right on, and never ceased to love you.

He has loved you in your backslidings and loved you out of them.

He has loved you in your sins, in your wickedness and folly.

His loving heart was still eternally the same, and he shed his heart’s blood to prove his love for you.

He has given you what you need on earth, and provided for you an habitation in heaven.

Now, Christian, your religion claims from you, that you should love others, as your Master loved you. How can you imitate him, unless you love too?

With you “un”kindness should be a strange anomaly. It is a gross contradiction to the spirit of your religion, and if you do not love your neighbor, I cannot see how you can be a true follower of the Lord Jesus.

C.H. Spurgeon

I believe that saying which is written – “As the Father has loved me, even so have I loved you,” and a higher degree of love we cannot imagine.

C.H. Spurgeon

Behold, what manner of love is this, that Christ should be arraigned and we adorned, that the curse should be laid on His head and the crown set on ours.

Thomas Watson
