THE FAIREST

Revelation 5:8-14
~~~~~~~
Worthy is the Lamb
who was slain!
--Revelation 5:12 -- bible

When I first became a Christian at age 19, I immediately fell in love with singing the great hymns of the faith. My heart overflowed with joy and thanksgiving as we sang of God's love for us in Christ. Soon one of my favorite hymns became "Fairest LORD Jesus!" I love the simplicity of the melody and the awesomeness of the One exalted in these words:

Fair is the sunshie,
fairer still the moonlight,
and all the twinkling starry host:
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer than all the
angels heaven can boast
Beautiful Savior!
Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
now and forevermore be Thine! --- angelwing

God's Son, whom we sing about in this song, came to this earth, lived a perfect life, and gave Himself for us on the cross (Luke 23:33). He arose from the grave (Luke 24:6) and is now seated at God's right hand (Heb. 1:3). One day we'll join in worship with thousands upon thousands and say: "Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!" (Rev. 5:13). Maybe we'll sing "Fairest Lord Jesus!" too.

Until then, let's allow Jesus to be "the fairest" above all in our personal lives by seeking wisdom from His Word and following in His ways.

WE CAN NEVER PRAISE JESUS TOO MUCH!
