Do You Love Jesus?

As Mr. M—, a true child of God, alighted from the cab, he was about to follow his usual custom of handing a tract to the cabman, when this question from him greeted his ear:
“Do you love Jesus?”
What a delight it was to Mr. M— to hear these words, and to find in the cabman a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. What an example that cabman was of following the command to preach the Word, and to be instant in season and out of season. God grant that his searching question may be blessed to the salvation of many souls.
And now, my reader, let me ask you,
“Do you love Jesus?” If you cannot honestly answer that you do, ask yourself why you do not. What! not love Him who died for you?
“He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with His stripes we are healed.” (Isa. 53:55But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)).
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” (Phil. 2:6-86Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:6‑8)).
He has done all this for you, and yet you do not love Him? Is it possible. We beseech you, before it is too late, to turn to Him.
“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” (Isa. 55:66Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: (Isaiah 55:6)).
