The Beauty Of Jesus

The beauty of Jesus is not how he looked when he came to earth or how artists tend to paint him, but His real beauty is found in His awesome love and perfect sacrifice on the cross for sinners.

When Jesus returns to gather His people to Himself, we will see Him as He is---the believer’s exalted Lord and Savior.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Throughout eternity we will see the scars of Jesus, received at the cruel crucifixion----the holes in His hands and feet, the wounds on His back and side, and punctures in His head from a thorny crown.

We can spend days talking about the beauty of Jesus and what He means to those who know Him. But when we sum it up we will have to say that He is altogether lovely.

Have you given Him the exalted place He deserves in your life?
