The Wednesday Word - The Loveliness of JESUS
THE LOVELINESS OF JESUS by D. G. Miles McKee “ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” - 2 Corinthians 5:21 In this short Wednesday Word I want us to remember Him, the Lord Jesus. He is entirely lovely. Listen to our verse, it says of Jesus, “Who knew no sin.” What a remarkable description of the Christ. He was pure in every way. He is lovely. HE WAS PURE IN HIS BIRTH . In Luke 1:35 we read, “ And the angel answered and said unto her ( Mary ), The Holy Ghost shall come upon you and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Did you see that? The angel came to Mary and said that Jesus was ‘that holy thing.’ Yes, He was pure in His birth. He is lovely. And He was, PURE IN HIS LIFE. It is written of the Lord, “He did no sin neither was guile found in His mouth" (1 Peter 2 22). Just try that for a while! Try ha
