"To you who believe, 
HE is precious." 1 Peter 2:7

CHRIST is MOST precious. 
Oh, sirs, angels are precious, 
saints are precious, friends are 
precious, Heaven is precious--
but CHRIST is ten thousand 
times more precious than these. 

A believer had rather have CHRIST without 
Heaven, than Heaven without CHRIST. 

"Whom have I in Heaven but YOU? 
and there is none on earth that I 
desire besides YOU." Psalm 73:25. 

Let a believer search Heaven and earth, 
and yet he will find nothing comparable 
to CHRIST. 
To be like to HIM, is our happiness. 
To draw near to HIM, is our holiness. 

You see, beloved, life is precious, 
freedom is precious, health is precious, 
peace is precious, food and clothing 
are precious, gold and silver are precious, 
kingdoms and crowns are precious. Indeed 
they are, in their places, but nothing is as 
precious as JESUS CHRIST.

Mark, sirs, what the apostle says, 

"But whatever was to my profit I now 
consider loss for the sake of CHRIST. 
What is more, I consider everything 
a loss compared to the surpassing 
greatness of knowing CHRIST JESUS 
my LORD, for whose sake I have lost 
all things. I consider them rubbish, that 
I may gain CHRIST." Philippians 3:7-8

The believer is the only blessed man, 
the only happy man, the only rich man. 
Revelation 21:7, "He who overcomes 
shall inherit all things." 

Oh what a glorious inheritance are they 
born to, who are new-born. All things are 
theirs, and they shall inherit all things. 
What can they desire, more than ALL? 

All that CHRIST has, is theirs: 
HIS wisdom is theirs to teach them, 
HIS love is theirs to pity them, 
HIS SPIRIT is theirs to comfort them, 
HIS righteousness is theirs to justify them, 
HIS power is theirs to protect them, and 
HIS glory is theirs to crown them.

Oh sirs, CHRIST cannot but be most 
precious to a believer, because all his 
precious comforts come from CHRIST. 
The LORD JESUS is . . .
  fairer than the fairest,
  sweeter than the sweetest, 
  nearer than the nearest,
  dearer than the dearest, 
  richer than the richest, 
  and better than the best.

"Yes, HE is very precious to 
you who believe." 1 Peter 2:7 

JESUS CHRIST is more precious 
to believers, than a thousand worlds.

Oh sirs. to the believing soul . . .
   CHRISTt is precious,
   HE is very precious,
   HE is most precious,
   HE is always precious,
   HE is altogether precious.

"Yes, HE is altogether lovely. 
This is my Beloved, and this 
is my FRIEND." Song of Solomon 5:16. 

JESUS CHRIST is indeed our 
best friend. HE is . . .
  a faithful friend, 
  a prudent friend, 
  a providing friend,
  a compassionate friend, 
  a constant friend,
  a loving friend, 
  an everlasting friend.

HE loves us to the end--
and there is no end of HIS love.

Oh, what a sweet friend is CHRIST!
