Psalms 45:11. So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty:
We were thinking of his beauty. But see: when once we see the beauty of Christ, Christ puts a beauty upon us; and when we learn the beauties of Christ, we soon see beauties in his Church. I find that those who at the Church of God have not any very high esteem of the Church’s Head; but when he is beloved, his people are beloved for his sake. Why, there is an old proverb that says, "Love me, love my dog." Much more may we say, "Love Christ, love his Church."
Psalms 45:11. For he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
This is the great business of the Church - to carry on the worship of her Lord; and I believe that, met together as we are tonight, we are met for the noblest purpose under heaven. When the people of God come together for worship, they are doing that which angels do before the throne - an occupation from which they never cease day or night!
