Now then, my brethren, this is the close of this sermon for the present. I beseech you, while we are preaching over this large sermon of Jesus Christ, do you apprehend the eyes of Jesus Christ are upon you all. Why should we not apprehend it so now as well as then, when Christ saith, He that heareth you hears me? It is the sermon that Christ preached himself; and as he lift up his eyes upon his auditors at that time, so do you know that Jesus Christ lifts up his eyes upon you all, and his eyes will be upon every heart all the while his sermon shall be preached. Oh, Christ comes into the congregation to look upon this man and the other man, to see how they will entertain his word; and if you will but remember this one note all along as we go, it will be of very great use to you—remember the eyes of Jesus Christ will be upon you, and looks upon your behaviour all the while. [Jeremiah Burroughs]
