“He parted with the greatest glory, he underwent the greatest misery, he doth
the greatest works that ever were, because he loves his spouse, — because he
values believers.
What can more, what can farther be spoken? How little is the depth of that
which is spoken fathomed! How unable are we to look into the mysterious recesses
of it! He so loves, so values his saints, as that, having from eternity
undertaken to bring them to God, he rejoices his soul in the thoughts of it; and
pursues his design through heaven and hell, life and death, by suffering and
doing, in mercy and with power; and ceaseth not until he bring it to
perfection."
— John Owen
