“Who can I turn to who is so beautiful that he will enable me to escape all counterfeit gods?” Tim Keller
Keller then quotes
the poet George Herbert, “Thou are my loveliness, my life, my light,
Beauty alone to me.”
"He (Jesus
our Messiah) had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty
that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and
afflicted." Isaiah 53:2-4
In His humility we see His beauty.
