Ocean of Grace (39): SATURDAY – The
Altogether Lovely (p130ff)
For the Ancient Greeks (Plato etc.), truth, goodness
and beauty are a classic triad. Perhaps we tend to neglect beauty. We might do
well to dwell on the attractiveness of Jesus’ person, character, words and
actions – his beauty.
Has Jesus stolen your heart?
What can you say about his loveliness?
What do you admire in him / find pleasing /
fitting / appropriate?
What captivates you about him?
Why are you passionate about him?
Do you have a sense of his longing and
affection for you?
Jesus desires us and in our right minds we
desire him. He is the Desire of the Nations (Haggai 2:6-7), although of
course we don’t always realise it is Jesus we want and need. Oh for a fresh
vision of his beauty and how we might be satisfied in him.
Hymn: Beautiful One
