Behold my servant. Isaiah 42:1
Gentle and strong, trusted of the weakest, feared of all tyrants, He moved without strife of words, or lifting up the voice in self-advertisement, through the Divinely marked programme of the waiting years, to the Cross of ultimate pain, which He made the centre and source of all healing for wounded and broken humanity.
God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36
It is a sad commentary upon the blindness of the human heart through sin, that the vast mass of people who came into contact with Jesus during the years of His sojourn upon the earth, saw no beauty in Him that they should desire Him. Through the process of centuries, and by the teaching of the Spirit, men are coming to understand the wonderful glory and beauty of His person and character, and are now recognizing that all perfection of life, individually, socially, religiously, finds in Him its first and chief expression.
Blessed Matthew 5:6
Men who hold views of what happiness consists in, viz., having and doing. To possess much, or to do some great thing, constitutes the sum of human blessedness according to popular theory. Our teacher sweeps these conceptions away by absolutely ignoring them... Being is everything. A man's hapiness depends upon what he is in himself.
