The chief among ten thousand, the altogether lovely One!''

Back to THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2

---

(by Octavius Winslow) 

With what pen, dipped though it were in heaven's  brightest hues, can we portray the image of Jesus? 
The perfection of our Lord was the perfection of holiness. His Deity, essential holiness; His humanity  without sin, the impersonation of holiness.

All that He was, said, and did, was as flashes of holiness emanating from the fountain of essential purity, and kindling their dazzling and undying radiance around each step He trod. How lowly, too, His  character!

How holy the thoughts He breathed, how pure the words He spoke, how humble the spirit He exemplified, how tender and sympathizing the outgoings of His compassion and love to man. 

He is "the chief among ten thousand, the altogether lovely one!"
