28 Motives to Love Jesus!
(Thomas Doolittle, “Love to Christ Necessary to Escape the Curse at His Coming!” 1693)
#1. Can you find a more EXCELLENT OBJECT for your love, than Jesus?
If you search through the whole creation, could you find any like Him? Are riches, honors, pleasures, or other relationships comparable to Jesus, whom you ought to love supremely? Should not the highest good be the best object of your love? Can you love lesser things, and not the greatest good? Is not all the goodness in the creature but as a drop compared to the sea, as a candle compared to the sun, as a speck of sand compared to a mountain–when compared to the goodness that is in Jesus? If David were worth ten thousand other men–then is not Jesus, David’s Lord, better than all the world?
