We begin by considering that THE CHURCH IS GODS FARM. The Lord has made the church his own by his sovereign choice. He has also secured it unto himself by purchase, having paid for it a price immense. The Lords portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. Every acre of Gods farm cost the Saviour a bloody sweat, yea, the blood of his heart. He loved us, and gave himself for us: that is the price he paid. Henceforth the church is Gods freehold, and he holds the title deeds of it. It is our joy to feel that we are not our own, we are bought with a price. The church is Gods farm by choice and purchase. Charles Spurgeon
