“Christ is lovely in His suffering when He did make expiation for our sins.
Lovely in His suffering?
Lovely when He was buffeted, spit upon, besmeared with blood? Oh, yes!
He was most lovely upon the cross because then He showed most love to us.
He bled love at every vein.”
–Thomas Watson, The Loveliness of Christ, in The Works of Thomas Watson, Volume 3, Ed. J. Stephen Yuille and Matthew Elliot (Grand Rapids, MI: Reformation Heritage Books, 2026), 3: 523.
