Some months back I read The Cry for Revival, a sermon from Robert M’Cheyne on Psalm 85:6 “Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?” A few days ago Pastor Ray Ortlund posted this quote from that sermon:

“The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus.  When the Spirit is poured down, his people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus.  They eat his flesh and drink his blood.  They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord.  They taste that the Lord is gracious.  His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full and free to their soul.  They sit under his shadow with great delight. . . . They lean on the Beloved.  They find infinite strength in him for the use of their soul — grace for grace — all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.”
