C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -PRECIOUSNESS OF

Jesus is not a grain of gold, but a vast globe of it, a priceless mass of treasure such as heaven and earth cannot excel. ME605 I like what was said by a child in the Sunday-school, when the teacher said, “You have been reading that Christ is precious: what does that mean?” The children stayed a little while, till at last one boy replied, “Father said the other day that mother was precious, for ‘whatever should we do without her?’” This is a capital explanation of the word “precious.” 1771.161 “He is precious.” For a thing to be rightly called precious, it should have three qualities: it should be rare, it should have an intrinsic value of its own, and it should possess useful and important properties. All these three things meet in our adorable Lord, and make him precious to discerning minds. 2137.185
