So beautiful


 “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.
