Christ is the same; Christ's person never changes. Should he come on earth to visit us again, as sure he will, we should find him the same Jesus; as loving, as approachable, as generous, as kind, and though arrayed in nobler garments than he wore when first he visited earth, though no more the Man of

Sorrows and grief's acquaintance, yet he would be the same person, unchanged by all his glories, his triumphs, and his joys. We bless Christ that amid his heavenly splendors his person is just the same, and his nature unaffected. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

Bunyan tells us that Mercy laughed in her sleep; and no wonder, when she dreamed of Jesus. My joy shall not stop short of hers while my Beloved is the theme of my daily thoughts. The Lord Jesus is a great sea of delight; my soul shall dive into the depths

of Christ's own joy. Sarah looked on her Isaac, and laughed with pleasure, and all her friends laughed with her; and you, my soul, look on your Lord and bid Heaven and earth unite in your joy unspeakable.
