How Much Does Christ Love You?

Thomas Shepard's "The Parable of the Ten Virgins" is a favorite of mine.  I love the depth in his writings.  Here is one quote werein the gospel is very clear:

Wherein appears the love of the Lord to me, that so I may see how I manifest the like love to him?  He hath loved thee more than himself, more than his own honor--for 'he made himself of no reputation,' (Phil 2.7) more than his own comforts--he left the bosom of a Father, and bore the wrath of a Father for thee; more than is own life--he saw thy neck upon the block, and God's ax up to give the bloody and fatal stroke, and he came in thy room, and loved thy life more than his own, lost his own before one hair of thy head should perish, though he knew thee a traitor to God and an enemy to himself.  Rom. 5.10; Rev. 1.5,6  (p.88)
