Electing Love
Pause and consider this opening verse, ‘As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you’. It is a great and precious discovery to every redeemed sinner that Christ’s love for His Bride is analogous to the Father’s particular and infinite love for His own dear Son. We may, on the basis of this statement alone, reject the foolish and unbiblical notion of the universal love of God for every individual. The Father declared His love and divine pleasure for His Son and the Lord Jesus tells us He has the same love and pleasure for His Church.

I want, with God’s help just for a few moments this evening, to bring before you the character of the faith of this little maid; the little girl in this chapter. These characters are left on record, though so little is known about them, to teach us and to be instructive to us that we might learn some gracious lessons from them, especially from the faith that this little maid had.

All The Glorious Privileges Of Christ’s Church And Kingdom
It is sweet consolation to new-born souls to know the state they are come to. Verily, saith Paul, ‘unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, and unto the heavenly Jerusalem.’ Heb. 12:22. Even to all the glorious privileges of Christ’s church and kingdom, of love, grace and peace. The utmost stretch of thought comes infinitely short of our highly favoured state. See also the blessed society you are come to: 'an innumerable company of angels, the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose names are
