When persons are in exalted stations, much depends on their conduct: we reckon every event interesting; and the heart is filled with anxiety to know the least circumstance. It is eminently so with those whom we dearly love. Nothing appears small or uninteresting. Love delights to dwell upon every period of their lives. In this manner, all ought to study Christ; and such as have a lively faith will not fail to attempt it. Actuated by this principle, Paul determined to know nothing but Christ; and the more he knew of him, the more he laboured to increase his knowledge.
