He Is Truth Itself
He is the fountain of all truth, but He is more—He is truth itself. He is the source and strength of all beauty, but He is more—He is beauty itself. He is the fountain of all wisdom, but He is more—He is wisdom itself. In Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden away! (see Colossians 2:3).
Jesus Christ our Savior is the fountain of all grace. He is the fountain and source of all life, but He is more than that. He could say, “I AM the life!” He is the fountain of love, but again, He is far more than that—He is love!
He is resurrection and He is immortality and as one of the adoring songwriters said, He is the “brightness of the Father’s glory, sunshine of the Father’s face.”
In another hymn, “Fairest Lord Jesus,” there are at least two verses that are not always included, which tell us in candor and realism that when everything else has perished and vanished, we will find it is Jesus alone who abides for aye. One verse says, “Earth’s fairest beauty, heaven’s brightest splendor, in Jesus Christ unfolded see; all that here shineth quickly declineth before His spotless purity.”
There is excitement in true love, and I think that we Christians who love our Savior ought to be more excited about who He is and what He is!
A friend of mine has been quite irked because I cannot get excited and steamed up about earthly things. I just cannot stand and strike an attitude of awe when a friend drives up with one of the classy new automobiles. I hear people describing the magnificent new houses that they are building, and they have excitement in their voices. But the Word of God forces me to remember that when you have seen the house or the city which hath foundations and whose builder and maker is God (see Hebrews 11:10), you cannot really ever get excited again about any house ever built by any man in this world.
It has been said that Abraham could never build a permanent house for himself after he had seen the city whose builder and maker was God. I know I have made up my mind about that city—and I would be willing to live in a tent here because I have some idea about my future home up there. I am convinced that it will be beautiful and satisfying beyond anything I can know down here. It is a tragedy if we forget that “earth’s fairest beauty and heaven’s brightest splendor are all unfolded in Jesus Christ, and all that here shineth quickly declineth before His spotless purity.”
