“Wherefore God hath highly exalted him,
and given him a name which is above every name
(Philippians 2:9).
HE IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY
He is a friend who
never forsakes, a friend who lifts us up when others try to push us down. We
cannot wear Him out as we pile on our grief’s and troubles. He is always ready
to lift us up and help us out. He addresses with the same love ; He beams the
same smile and shows us compassion.
There is no name like His. It is
more inspiring than Caesar’s name, more musical than Beethoven’s name and more
conquering the Napoleon’s name. It is more eloquent than Demosthenes’ name and
more patient than Lincoln ’s
name.
The name of Jesus pulsates with
life. It weeps with pathos, groans with all pains, stoops with all love and the
breath of His name is far better than any perfumes.
There is no one who can pity like
Jesus or who can welcome a prodigal home like Jesus, or make a drunk sober
instantly or turn a street woman into a queen for Jesus.
Who like Jesus can catch the tears
of human sorrow in a bowl and save them for a time of need and wipe them away
in an instant?
I struggle with trying to find a
metaphor that would suit Jesus. He is not like an orchestra making all that
wonderful music, that would be too loud and it could be out of tune. I don’t
think He is like a sea or the waves crashing into the shore in all their fury
because that would be too boisterous. He
is not like some far off mountain with all the lightening flashing around it or
the snow capping it’s top. I would think that would be too solitary and remote.
No, I picture Him as the.....
“Lilly
of the Valley"
"The Rose of Sharon"
"The Altogether Lovely One.”
But more to the point..... I picture Him as THE SON OF GOD!
I hope you took the time to listen to the song in the video and that it touched your heart. My goal is to encourage you to get closer to the Lord.
Let me know. Pastor Bob Coutts
