THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD
JESUS was full of grace in every way. We are told that his hearers "wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth." In this respect he was like the Father that sent him, for God is the God of all grace, the Gracious God. His grace will yet be revealed in connection with the House of God to be built as the house of prayer for all nations; and for this David prays, when he says: "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple" (Psalm 27:4). Moses appears to equate Beauty and Glory in Psalm 90: "Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children; and let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us."
