The love of Christ. It is free love. It is large love. It is love irrespective of goodness in us. The patience of Christ. He stands, and He has stood, as the words imply, not afar off, but nigh, at the door. He stands. It is the attitude of waiting, of perseverance in waiting. He does not come and go; He stands. He does not sit down, or occupy Himself with other concerns. He has one object in view. The appeal of Christ to the Laodiceans [the Lukewarm Church.]
