Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the great subject of the Deity. And while humbling and expanding, this subject is eminently consolatory. Oh, there is, in contemplating Christ, a balm for every wound! In musing on the Father, there is a quietus for every grief and in the influence of the Holy Spirit there is a balsam for every sore. Would you lose your sorrows? Would you drown your cares? Then go plunge yourself in the Godhead’s deepest sea--be lost in His immensity. And you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated.

--C.H. Spurgeon, from a sermon delivered January 7, 1855 at New Park Street Chapel, Southwark, England
