All loveliness, all excellence, all glory!''

Back to THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2


(Winslow, "A Sight of Sin and a Sight of Jesus") 

Jesus is the most lovely, winning, wondrous object 
upon which the intelligent eye ever rested. 

Trace the points of attraction which meet in Jesus, 
and marvel not that when the eye fixes on them, 
the heart is irresistibly won, the soul is instantly 
dissolved, and the believer prostrates himself at 
the foot of the cross in the profoundest sense of 
his vileness before God. 

All loveliness, all excellence, all glory 
meet and centre in Jesus the Crucified. 

He is the most wonderful, as He is the most 
beauteous and attractive being in the universe. 

All the infinite perfection of absolute Deity, all 
the finite excellence of impeccable humanity, 
concentrate in Christ.
