Quotation
Christ was "a man of sorrows" on earth, but he is full of joy in heaven. He that "wipes away all tears from the eyes of his people," surely has none in his own. There was a joy set before him before he suffered, and doubtless it was given him, when he sat down at God's right hand. We may take the latter to be an actual donation of the former; the joy he had in prospect when he suffered he had in possession when he came to his throne. This is the time of his receiving the Father's public approbation, and the tokens of his love, before the whole heavenly assembly, which must be matter of great joy to him who so much valued and delighted in his Father's love.

John Hurrion (1675?–1731) was an English Independent minister.
From a Suffolk family, he trained for the ministry among the Independents. About 1696 he succeeded William Bedbank at Denton, Norfolk. There he engaged in a controversy on Christology with William Manning, a Socinian minister at Peasenhall, Suffolk. Hurrion moved to Hare Court Chapel, London in 1724, but suffered from poor health, and neglected his congregation. In 1726 he was chosen one of the Merchants' lecturers at Pinners' Hall. Hurrion was throughout his life reclusive and sedentary. He died on 31 December 1731.
Hurrion married about 1696 Jane, daughter of Samuel Baker of Wattisfield Hall, Suffolk. They had two sons who survived him; both entered the Independent ministry.
