He who is one with Christ longs to talk of the King in his beauty. The love of Christ constraineth the renewed soul to show forth the praises of him who hath called him out of darkness into his marvelous light. Jesus is more precious to the soul that beholds him by the eye of faith, than is anything else beside; and the believing soul is more precious to Jesus than fine gold of Ophir. Christ looks upon his hands--the marks of the crucifixion are there; and he says, "I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." The Christian is walled in by the rich, full promises of an infinite God.

Han som er ét med Kristus længes efter at tale om Kongen i sin pragt. Kristi kærlighed tvinger den fornyede sjæl til at fremvise hans pris, som har kaldet ham ud af mørke til hans forunderlige lys. Jesus er mere dyrebar for den sjæl, der ser ham med troens øje, end alt åndet tilsammen og den troende sjæl er mere dyrebar for Jesus end Ofirs fine guld. Kristus ser på sine hænder mærkerne efter korsfæstelsen er der og han siger: "Se, i mine hænder har jeg tegnet dig, dine mure har jeg altid for øje." Es 49,16, Den kristne er omgivet af en evig Guds rige løfter.
