If his glory hath ever been in our eyes, an object of delightful and admiring contemplation, it must also be the desire of our hearts, that all lands may be illuminated with its visible splendours. If our hearts have been captivated with the matchless beauty and grace of the Lord Jesus, we cannot but rejoice in the promise and prospect of his becoming the Desire of all nations. True love to him, must ever attach us to his cause and interests in the world. We cannot be his warm and honest friends without being the friends of the whole human race.
Robert Balfour — The Rev. Robert Balfour, D.D., Late Minister of the Outer High Church, Glasgow, Sermons on Interesting Subjects (Glasgow: Printed by Young, Gallie & Company, 1819), Sermon II, "The Salvation of the Heathen Necessary and Certain," p. 127
