When the prophets try to describe for me the attributes, the graces, the worthiness of the God who appeared to them and dealt with them, I feel that I can kneel down and follow their admonition: “He is thy Lord—worship thou Him!” They described Him as radiantly beautiful and fair. They said that He was royal and gracious. They described Him as a mysterious being, and yet they noted His meekness. The meekness was His humanity. The majesty was His deity. You find them everlastingly united in Him. So meek that He nursed at His mother’s breast, cried like any baby, and needed the same human care that every child needs. But He was also God, and in His majesty He stood before Herod and Pilate. When He returns, coming down from the sky, it will be in His majesty, the majesty of God; yet it will be in the majesty of the Man who is God! This is our Lord Jesus Christ. Before His foes He stands in majesty. Before His friends He stands in meekness!
Verse
I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. Psalm 145:5
Thought
The meekness was His humanity. The majesty was His deity. You find them everlastingly united in Him.
Prayer
Lord, I worship You in all of your majesty, and I thank You for making Yourself known to me in humanity. Thank You for truly being “God with us.”
