All the opposition made against Christ and his kingdom, and against Christ and his people, is alike vain and impotent as the striving of the waves which dash against the rocks. Like Noah in the ark, the people of Christ are safe in him, though tempests beat without. Sweet thought to the believer also! As no storms nor floods without, so no fears within, can lessen or abate the love of Jesus to his chosen. Many waters cannot quench his love, neither can all the floods drown it. Song of Solomon 8:7. Reader! think of this. Not all the floods of corruption, which as a deluge covered our nature; nor all the afflictions, agonies, and soul-travail of Jesus; nor the vials of God's wrath; no, nor even the baseness and ingratitude of his people, quenched his love. Precious Jesus! was such thy love to me?
