The Perfections of Christ

“He is altogether lovely.”
— Song of Sol. 5:16

“We find admirable affections in the apostles … we find works, as Jesus said, greater than His own; we find exercises of heart and astonishing heights by grace … but we do not find the evenness that was in Christ. He was the Son of man who was in heaven. Such as Paul are chords on which God strikes, and on which He produces a wondrous music; but Christ is all the music itself.”
