To know Him, is to love Him, to love Him is to serve Him. The more we know of the Lord Jesus Christ the more we long to know. Lets talk about Jesus in a clear and positive way. The truth concerning the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ can fill our hearts and minds with a knowledge that is so important and beneficial to our daily Christian life.
My study library has many books on the life of Jesus by authors who have covered hundreds of pages with their thoughts and ideas, yet I am usually left with the feeling there is so much truth yet to be known. How we need the insight and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to light up the Scriptures for us.
Perhaps the great believers and scholars who compiled the Westminster Confession used the English language in a masterly manner to contain the complexity and convey broad brushstrokes of truth regarding the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ:
'The Son of God, the second Person of the Trinity, being very and eternal God, of one substance with and equal to the Father, did, when the fullness of time was come, take upon Him the nature of man, consisting of a true human soul and body, with all the essential properties and common infirmities thereof, such as weariness, death, grief, hunger, etc., yet without sin. This body was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary; so that the two perfect and distinct natures, the Godhead and the Manhood, were inseparably joined together in one Person without conversion, composition, or confusion, which Person is Very God and Very Man, yet one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Mediator and Saviour. One effect of this union of two natures in one person is that what pertains to each nature is ascribed to the whole person.
The Lord Jesus is eternal, yet the Lord Jesus died; the Lord Jesus is divine, yet the Lord Jesus bled and suffered. His Person must never be divided, and His nature must never be confounded. Divinity cannot suffer, bleed and die; and Humanity is neither divine nor eternal (without beginning or end), but in Him as the God-Man all divine and human perfections meet.'
The Saviour of men came to seek and to save the souls who were lost to the good. His Spirit was moved for the world, which he loved with the boundless compassion of God.
