…To us there is but one God, the
Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom are all things…. 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!
