A SAVIOUR BEYOND COMPARE IS JESUS OUR LORD. None of us has seen His person, but we know Him from His word and believing, we love Him. As the only begotten Son of God, He was exalted, dignified, and glorified from everlasting; as the willing Saviour of poor lost sinners, He became incarnate, suffered, bled and died for them. We love His adorable person; His countenance is majesty, His heart is love, His hand is mercy, His eye all kindness, His feeling all compassion, and His smile is heaven. We love His precious salvation in its freeness, completeness, and glory. We love His delightful promises which meet all our wants and wishes, and fill our souls with peace. We love His throne where He meets us, attends to our requests, and blesses us beyond measure. We love His holy precepts which bear His authority, convey His love, and call us to holiness. We love His heaven-born family, who wear His likeness, are the excellent of the earth, and resemble the children of a king. O just to love Him more! To love Him with all our heart and mind and soul and strength! O to manifest our love to Him by holy service and sanctified life!

For Meditation:
Jesus! the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast:
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
O Thou the Fairest of ten thousand;
O Thou the sweet Rose of Sharon!
Thou art the Lily of the Valley,
How shall I part with Thee?
