May 4th -- Song of Solomon 2 The Beauty of Christ |
||||||||||||||
The saint has every reason to love Christ. He is in all respects beautiful in himself to such as have learnt the first and the great commandment to "Love (and fear) the Lord with all the soul, and mind and strength." By any other class, his beauty is not appreciated. His beauty is not such as would answer to the world's ideal -- moral, artistic, or religious. It is not the beauty of a statue or of a "gentleman born." Christ is more than kind; he is holy. He is more than forgiving; he is just, and with wickedness angry. He is more than gentle; he is exacting of supreme affection. He is more than good; he is zealous of the Father. Robert Roberts, Seasons of Comfort, page 224 |
