The Beauty Of Jesus

Isaiah talks about  the coming ministry of the Messiah. He paints a portrait of Jesus that is unlike that of most artists.

Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Jesus appeared as a normal, run of the mill man. It wasn’t what they saw, but what they didn’t  see that made Him extra-ordinary. His real beauty was in what He did for you and me.

He will take His Redeemed to Heaven one day. Throughout eternity, we will look upon Him who loved us and died for us, and we’ll see the evidence of that love constantly staring back at us.

 I am certain that this will be the grounds for much of Heaven's rejoicing. You want to see the real beauty of Jesus? Look at the holes in His hands and feet. Look at the wounds on His back and side. Look at the punctures in His head where He wore a thorny crown for you and me. There is His real beauty.  There is our salvation.
