altogether lovely
DESCRIPTION
GospelTRANSCRIPT
Bible Reading
Song of
Solomon5.10-16
My Beloved is bright and ruddy,
standing out among ten thousand.
His head is like refined gold; His locks are
bushy, black as a raven.
His eyes are as doves' eyes on
the rivers of waters, washed with milk, sitting
on a setting.
His cheeks are like a bed of
spices, a raised bed of aromatic
herbs.
His lips are as
lilies dropping
flowing myrrh.
His hands are like rings of
gold filled with jewels;
His body an ivory plate
overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold;
His face is like Lebanon,
excellent as the cedars.
His mouth is most sweet;
Yes, He is altogether
lovely.
Here ends the Bible Reading.
All of us look beautiful.
At least from one angle.
Jesus is
Altogether
Lovely.
Holy Bible says
three things
about JESUS
1. He knew no sin.
2. He did no sin.
3. In Him was no sin.
John 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin?
John 19.6 Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in him.
As we celebrate Christmas,
let’s remember that the CRADLE is
meaningless without the CROSS.
Jesus is Altogether
Lovely.
I am Altogether
Filthy.
In order to make me beautiful,
He chose to become
ugly.
See what Isaiah, a prophet, who lived 700 years before
Jesus was born, said
about JESUS…
He has no form nor majesty that we
should see Him…
…there is no beauty
that we should desire Him…
He is despised and rejected of men;
A Man of sorrows…
…and acquainted with grief;
Many people were shocked when they saw
Jesus.
Jesus was so disfigured that He hardly looked human. - Isaiah 52.14
This Jesus is
altogether
lovely.
He wants to make all of us
altogether lovely.
Col 1:21,22And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to
present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in
his sight:
Jude 24,25Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present
you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Savior, Lord Jesus Christ be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and ever. Amen.
Psalm 149:4
Jesus takes pleasure in his people: he will
beautify the meek with salvation.
Now the important question is this:
Is He altogether lovely to you?
