yet for us there is
but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and
there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through
whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:6
I do not mind telling you that I have
always found Jesus Christ beckoning to me throughout the Scriptures. I am
convinced that it was God’s design that we should find the divine Creator,
Redeemer and Lord whenever we search the Scriptures.
The Son of God is described by almost every
fair and worthy name in the creation. He is called the Sun of Righteousness
with healing in His wings. He is called the Star that shone on Jacob. He is
described as coming forth with His bride, clear as the moon. His Presence is
likened unto the rain coming down upon the earth, bringing beauty and
fruitfulness. He is pictured as the great sea and as the towering rock. He is
likened to the strong cedars. A figure is used of Him as of a great eagle,
going literally over the earth.
Where the person of Jesus Christ does not
stand out tall and beautiful and commanding, as a pine tree against the sky,
you will find Him behind the lattice, but stretching forth His hand. If He does
not appear as the sun shining in his strength, He may be discerned in the
reviving by the promised gentle rains.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was that One divinely
commissioned to set forth the mystery and the majesty and the wonder and the
glory of the Godhead throughout the universe. It is more than an accident that
both the Old and New Testaments comb heaven and earth for figures of speech or
simile to set forth the wonder and glory of God!
