It is to make much of Christ we want, beloved--much of Himself, and His glorious achievements for sinners. We want simplicity in that sense of the word--the breathings of a soul content with Him, and the peace of a conscience for ever at rest in His sufficiency. "What think ye of Christ?" is the test, as a dear hymn well known among us has it-- "Some call Him a Saviour, in word, But mix their own works with His plan, And hope He His help will afford, When they have done all that they can: If doing prove rather too light (A little they own they may fail), They purpose to make up full weight By casting His name in the scale. "Some style Him the pearl of great price, And say He’s the fountain of joys, Yet feed upon folly and vice, And cleave to the world and its toys-- Like Judas, the Saviour they kiss, And, while they salute Him, betray-- Ah, what will profession like this Avail in His terrible day! "If asked what of Jesus I think, Though all my best thoughts are but poor, I say, He’s my meat and my drink, My life, and my strength, and my store; My Shepherd, my Husband, my Friend, My Saviour from sin and from thrall, My hope from beginning to end, My portion, my Lord, and my all." May these thoughts and affections be ours. They are the sweet witness of the one faith, the one Lord, the one Spirit (Eph. iv.), for they express the leading, ruling mind of the Canticles. There the soul in kindred affection has but one object, but that one is enough. It is satisfied, and never for a moment looks for a second. It has the "Beloved," and cares for nothing else. If it grieve, it is over the want of capacity to enjoy Him. It seeks for nothing but Jesus, lamenting only that it is not more fully and altogether with Him. And this is the experience we have to desire--to find in the Lord a satisfying object, a cure for the wanderings of the poor heart, which, till it fix on Him, will go about and still say, "Who will show us any good?" "The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city."
