CHRIST IS PRECIOUS!
“Unto
you therefore which believe He
is precious” -I
PETER 2:7 [KJV]
It
is impossible for those who believe in Christ to fully express the
preciousness of Him to them.
1).
He is precious to every believer because He is their life. “He
that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life” [I
JOHN 5:12].
2).
He is precious to every believer because He is their clothing. THE
BEST ROBE that the Father gives or imputes to every son that He
receives is the righteousness of Christ. It is the robe of His
spinning by His perfect obedience and sacrifice.
3).
He is precious to every believer because He is their food. Just as
the Israel of old feasted on the Paschal Lamb so God’s
spiritual Israel feasts on the Lamb of God. We continually
feast upon His flesh and drink His blood; we continually look
to His one sacrifice that atones for all the sins of His elect.
4).
He is precious to every believer for He is our hiding place. In the
storms of life we say with the psalmist: “Yea, in the
shadow of Thy wings will I make my
refuge, until these calamities be over past” [PSALM
57:2].
