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….
afflicted in our afflictions;
tempted in our temptations;
infirm in our infirmities;
grieved in our griefs;
“wounded for our transgressions,
bruised for our iniquities;”
and now that he is in glory, 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. –Octavius Winslow
O what a Savior is Jesus Christ!
