Himself
“I found Him whom my soul loveth: I held Him and would not let Him go” (Song of Solomon 3:4).
Many years ago, the Bible commentator, Harry Ironside, wrote the following:
“Nothing gives our Lord more delight than to find a heart that joys in Him for what He is in Himself. Too often we think rather of the gifts, the gracious favours He bestows. It is right and proper that these should stir us to thanksgiving; but it is as we get to know Himself and to joy in His love that we really worship in blissful communion.”
On the resurrection morning Mary Magdalene did not immediately recognize the Lord through her tears “She turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus” (John 20:14).However, her anguish quickly turned to adoration when she saw it was indeed the Lord. She fell down at His feet and worshipped.
The most beautiful face in the universe is that of our Lord, once marred at Calvary, but now glorified. That glorified visage will draw forth our ceaseless worship throughout the endless ages of eternity.
