“Behold, Thou art fair, my Beloved.” — Song of Solomon 1:16
From every point our Well-beloved is most fair. Our various experiences are meant by our heavenly Father to furnish fresh standpoints from which we may view the loveliness of Jesus; how amiable are our trials when they carry us aloft where we may gain clearer views of Jesus than ordinary life could afford us! We have seen Him from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, and He has shone upon us as the sun in his strength; but we have seen Him also “from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards,” and He has lost none of His loveliness. From the languishing of a sick bed, from the borders of the grave, have we turned our eyes to our soul’s spouse, and He has never been otherwise than “all fair.” Many of His saints have…
looked upon Him from the gloom of
dungeons, and from the red flames of the stake, yet have they never
uttered an ill word of Him, but have died extolling His surpassing charms.
Oh, noble and pleasant employment to be for ever gazing at our sweet
Lord Jesus! Is it not unspeakably delightful to view the Saviour in all His
offices, and to perceive Him matchless in each? — to shift the
kaleidoscope, as it were, and to find fresh combinations of peerless graces?
In the manger and in eternity, on the cross and on His throne, in the garden
and in His kingdom, among thieves or in the midst of cherubim, He is
everywhere “altogether lovely.” Examine carefully every little act of His
life, and every trait of His character, and He is as lovely in the minute as in
the majestic. Judge Him as you will, you cannot censure; weigh Him as
you please, and He will not be found wanting. Eternity shall not discover
the shadow of a spot in our Beloved, but rather, as ages revolve, His
hidden glories shall shine forth with yet more inconceivable splendour, and
His unutterable loveliness shall more and more ravish all celestial minds.
