This is the envy of devils and the admiration of angels and saints. The angels were more honorable and excellent creatures than we. Oh, such was Christ s transcendent love, that man s extreme misery could not abate it. The deploredness of man s condition did but heighten the holy flame of Christ s love. The sharp, the universal and continual sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ, from the cradle to the cross, does above all other things speak out the transcendent love of Jesus Christ to poor sinners.
Love is submissive, it enables to suffer.
It is above all creatures, for it is above the angels, and therefore above all others. The current formatting and editing is copyrighted by Jim Ehrhard, 2000.
