He shall be great!',

"He shall be great!" Luke 1:32
So spoke the angel, announcing the birth of the Lord Jesus; and the prediction is fulfilled. He is great, and His greatness is unsearchable! He is great:
in the dignity of His nature,
in the depth of His humiliation,
in the glory of His righteousness,
in the merit of His blood,
in the provisions of His gospel,
in the salvation of His converts,
in the extent of His kingdom,
in the tenderness of His sympathy,
in the variety of His offices,
in the grandeur of His works,
in the estimation of His people,
in the conquest of His foes, and
in the punishment of His inveterate enemies!
His greatness is stamped upon . . .
every promise He has made,
every pardon He grants,
every blessing He gives,
and every victory He gains!
Believer, your Saviour is great. Therefore He . . .
saves great sinners,
confers great grace,
bears with great offenders,
treats with great kindness, and
will confer on us great glory!
His greatness shall fill . . .
His people with everlasting joy, and
His foes with never ending woe!
He shall be great on earth, in heaven, and in hell!
