There would be no end, should I go through all the
instances of Christ’s valuation of believers, in all their deliverances,
afflictions, in all conditions of sinning and suffering, — what he
hath done, what he doth in his intercession, what he delivers them from,
what he procures for them; all telling out this one thing, — they are the
apple of his eye, his jewel, his diadem, his crown.
