"The Fairest One"
"Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever." (Psalms 45:2) From His birth, as humble as it was, Jesus was the fairest One: fairer than the children of men. We see this declared by the angels to the shepherds in Luke 2, and we know this personally by the relationship that we have with Him; something that can only be declared in our own hearts upon accepting Him into our heart personally; because when we do, we discover that there is no other, only Jesus will do! Not just a prophet, or a teacher, or even a priest; yet He fulfilled each of those each of those callings to the highest degree. Not just a king, but the King of Kings and Lord of Lords; born as a baby, yet full of grace and truth, having preexisted from the before the beginning of all creation, and Who's kingdom is established for ever and ever. This is the Jesus that I serve; this is the Jesus that has saved me; not just a Man who walked among us for 33 years and then went away, but the God of creation Who took it upon Himself to do something that only He could do, come and die in our place upon the cross. Those that might not understand how important this is, have not tasted the life giving change of knowing their Redeemer; nor have they yet experienced the freedom given by being delivered from their sins; there is no way to explain it, other than trying to say that feel free and alive; but people that do not know how that feels cannot relate, because it involves the Spirit, of which they have not, nor can they, until they open the door of their heart and let Him in. We that have Jesus know these things full well, but sometimes we need to be reminded what He has done for us; especially after having struggled in this world for several decades after our conversion, we tend to forget what it felt like to be transformed from one life to the other, and to truly know The Fairest One... "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5) "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14)
