True excellency!
(Jonathan Edwards)
Worldly men imagine that there is true
excellency and true happiness in those
things which they are pursuing.
They think that if they could but obtain
them, that they would be happy. But when
they obtain them, and cannot find happiness,
they look for happiness in something else,
and are still upon the futile pursuit.
But CHRIST JESUS has true excellency,
and so great excellency that when they
come to see it they look no further,
but the mind rests there.
