Only, my brethren, answer this--Are your desires awakened indeed after Jesus Christ?
You know what a desire is.

Your hearts are full to the brim of desires.

Well, is there one desire in a day in your heart for Christ?
In the multitude of your desires within you, what share and what proportion go out and up to Christ?
You know what beauty is.

You know and you love the beauty of a child, of a woman, of a man, of nature, of art, and so on.

Do you know, have you ever seen, the ineffable beauty of Christ?
Is there one saint of God here,--and He has many saints here--is there one of you who can say with David in the text, One thing do I desire?
There should be many so desiring saints here; for Christ's beauty is far better and far fairer, far more captivating, far more enthralling, and far more satisfying to us than it could be to David.
