When His beauty is seen

(Octavius Winslow)

"Yes, He is altogether lovely! This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend!" Song of Songs 5:16

O what a Savior is Jesus Christ! He is the chief among ten thousand! Look at His sinless, yet real humanity - without a single taint, yet sympathizing with us in all our various conditions - our afflictions - our temptations - our infirmities - our griefs. Now that He is in glory, He is still cherishing a brother's heart - bending down His ear to our petitions - ever standing near . . .
  to catch our sighs,
  to dry our tears,
  to provide for our needs,
  to guide us by His counsel, and
  afterwards to receive us to glory!

O what a Savior is Jesus Christ!

When He is known - all other beings are eclipsed.

When His beauty is seen - all other beauty fades.

When His love is felt - He becomes supremely enthroned in the affections.

To know Him more, becomes the one desire of the renewed mind; and to make Him more known, is the one aim of the Christian life. O what a Savior is Jesus Christ!
