Jesus is not of infinite value and worth because we love Him. We love Him because He is of infinite value and worth. The response of mankind to the unlimited greatness and glory of Jesus Christ (whether to receive Him by faith as Savior and Lord or whether to reject Him) does not add to or subtract from who He is and what He has accomplished. The value of perishable homes, coins, cars, stamps, or paintings may rise or fall depending upon changeable circumstances or changeable people. However, if the entire world hated Jesus or the entire world loved Jesus, His infinite worth and beauty would not be altered in the least. He is who He is in absolute perfection now and for all eternity. Nothing can be added to Him to make the slightest improvement. Nothing can be subtracted from Him to detract from His glory in the least. That which is esteemed by man to be of greatest value in this world or universe cannot even be compared or likened to the Lord Jesus (Isaiah 46:5). There is none like Jesus Christ among the angels, among men, among all of creation. To what or to whom will you liken Jesus Christ? The bride of Jesus Christ in the Song of Solomon is love-sick for Jesus because of His unsurpassing greatness, love, mercy, power, and holiness. It is true that we love Him for what He has done for us (1 John 4:19), but we love Him chiefly for who He is: the chiefest among ten thousand. There is none like Him. The main points from our text are: (1) Love-sickness for Jesus Cannot Be Hidden (Song 5:9); (2) Love-sickness for Jesus Declares There Is None like Him (Song 5:10).
