When God gave us His Son, He gave us an infinitely greater gift than the world; the Creator is infinitely more glorious than the creature, and the Son of God is the Creator of all things. God can make innumerable worlds by the word of His mouth. He has but one only Son, and He spared not His only Son, but gave Him to the death of the cross for us all. God's love to His people is from everlasting to everlasting; but from everlasting to everlasting there is no manifestation of it known, or conceivable by us, that can be compared to this. The light of the sun is always the same, but it shines brightest to us at noon. The cross of Christ was the noontide of everlasting love; the meridian splendour of eternal mercy.

John Maclaurin — The Works of the Rev. John Maclaurin, ed. W. H. Goold, vol. I (Edinburgh: John Maclaren, 1860), Sermon II, "Glorying in the Cross of Christ" (Gal. 6:14), pp. 77-78
