Or Saint Paul's Straight

The Puritan preacher Richard Sibbes (1577-1635), the author of Christ is Best, really knew how to awaken and invigorate faith, love and joy in Christ in the hearts of his hearers. Taking Paul's words in Philippians 1:23,24, Sibbes ably shows that we will only begin to desire Christ above all else when we sense how much he loves us sinners, how much he has suffered for our forgiveness, and how unfathomably kind and merciful he is and has been. We love him, because he first loved us (I John 4:19).
