1 Timothy 2:5 ‘For
there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 2:9 ‘9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God
should taste death for every man.
There’s
a Man in the glory I know very well,
I have known Him for years and his goodness can tell;
One day in His mercy He knocked at my door,
And, seeking admission, knocked many times o’er
But when I went to Him and stood face to face,
And listened awhile to His story of grace,
How He suffered for sinners and put away sin,
I willingly, thankfully welcomed Him in.
We have
lived on together a number of years
And that’s why I neither have doubting nor fears,
For my sins are all hid in the depths of the sea;
They were carried down there by the Man on the Tree.
I am often surprised why the lip should be curled
When I speak of my Lord to the man of the world:
And notice with sorrow his look of disdain
When I tell him that Jesus is coming again.
And yet
at His coming I’m sure he would flee
Like the man in the garden who ate of the tree.
Is the Man in the glory a stranger to you?
A stranger to Jesus! What, do you not know?
He is washing poor sinners much whiter than snow?
Have you lived in a land where the Bible’s unknown?
That you don’t know the Man who is now on the throne?
The
question of sin I adoringly see
The Man in the Glory has settled for me!
And as to my footsteps, whatever the scene,
The Man in the Glory is keeping me clean;
And therefore I’m singing from morning till night,
The Man in the Glory is all my delight.
