One King, One LORD 

"And the LORD shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one
LORD, and His Name one" (Zechariah 14:9). 

Blessed prospect! This is no dream of an enthusiast but the declaration of the
infallible Word. Jehovah shall be known among all people, and His gracious sway
shall be acknowledged by every tribe of man. Today, it is far from being so.
Where do any bow before the great King? How much there is of rebellion! What
lords many and gods many there are on the earth! Even among professed
Christians what diversities of ideas there are about Him and His gospel! One
day there shall be one King, one Jehovah, and one name for the living God. O
LORD, hasten it! We daily cry, "Thy kingdom come." 

We will not discuss the question as to when this shall be lest we lose the
comfort of the certainty that it shall be. So surely as the Holy Ghost spake by
His prophets, so surely shall the whole earth be filled with the glory of the
LORD. Jesus did not die in vain. The Spirit of God worketh not in vain. The
Father's eternal purposes shall not be frustrated. Here, where Satan triumphed,
Jesus shall be crowned, and the LORD God Omnipotent shall reign. Let us go our
way to our daily work and warfare made strong in faith.

The most precious thing in heaven or earth 

(John Flavel, "The Fountain of Life" 1671) 

In giving Christ to die for poor sinners, God gave the  richest jewel in His
cabinet; a mercy of the greatest  worth, and most inestimable value. 

Heaven itself is not so valuable and precious as Christ  is! Ten thousand
thousand worlds—as many worlds as  angels can number, would not outweigh
Christ's love,  excellency and sweetness! O what a lovely One! What  an
excellent, beautiful, ravishing One—is Christ! 

Put the beauty of ten thousand paradises, like the garden  of Eden, into one;
put all flowers, all fragrances, all colors,  all tastes, all joys, all
sweetness, all loveliness into one;  O what a lovely and excellent thing would
that be! And yet  it would be less to that loveliest and dearest well-beloved 
Christ—than one drop of rain to all the seas, rivers, lakes,  and fountains of
ten thousand earths! 

Now, for God to bestow the mercy of mercies, the most  precious thing in heaven
or earth, upon poor sinners;  and, as great, as lovely, as excellent as His Son
was—what  kind of love is this!
