JESUS
CHRIST-JEALOUSY
The
Lord Jesus Christ is very jealous of
your love, O believer. Did he not choose you? He cannot bear that you
should choose another. Did he not buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure
that you should think you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He
loved you with such a love that He could not stop in heaven without you; He
would sooner die than that you should perish; He stripped himself to nakedness
that He might clothe you with beauty; He bowed his face to shame and spitting
that He might lift you up to honor and glory, and He cannot endure that you
should love the world, and the things of the world. His love is strong as death
towards you, and therefore will be cruel as the grave… He loves you so much
that He cannot endure that anything should stand between your heart's love and Him.
Be careful Christians, you that are married to Christ; remember, you are married to a jealous husband.
C.H. Spurgeon

Jealous God, Sermon 502, March 29, 1863.
If
we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous
husband will let none touch His spouse.
