Regarding Christ, all comparison is impossible. Other greatnesses are marred by smallness; other wisdoms flawed by folly; other goodness tainted by imperfection. But Jesus Christ remains the only being of whom it can be said without flattery,
“He is altogether lovely.” (Song of Solomon 5:16)
Christ’s loveliness first lies in His perfect humanity. Except for sin and evil nature, He is one with us. He grew in stature and grace, labored, wept, prayed, and loved. He “was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15).
He is not a distant statue on a pedestal but a living, warm presence. He calls His disciples by name, comforts them, and assures them of His love. His perfection glows, not merely glitters.
Jesus’ holiness is warm and inviting, like a rose or a garden of violets. He receives all sinners—from Nicodemus, the moral and religious man, to Mary Magdalene, freed from seven demons (John 3; Luke 8:2). His presence cleanses like a pure stream entering a stagnant pool.
Imagine Jesus calling a convention of Pharisees to plan mass outreach. Yet, He entered life humbly among the masses, saying,
“I am among you as the One who serves” (Luke 22:27), washing His disciples’ feet (John 13:5).
He was “moved with compassion” (Matthew 9:36). The hungry, the widow, the dead child, the maniac—all touched His heart. His anger toward the Pharisees arose from sympathy for those suffering under their harsh rule.
His grace shone when He touched the outcast leper, restoring his humanity by a simple touch.
His gentleness with sinners is unmatched. Nicodemus, afraid to lose his standing, approached Him at night (John 3:2), yet Jesus spoke no harsh word to wound him. When He saved the woman caught in adultery (John 8:3-11), He used a gentle term for “woman,” the same He used addressing His own mother from the cross.
Christ’s character shows perfect balance. His gentleness is never weak; His courage never brutal. At His arrest and trial—before the high priest, Pilate, and Herod—He endured brutality without losing dignity.
At Jacob’s well, Jesus spoke patiently and faithfully to the Samaritan woman, gently unveiling her sin without wounding her dignity. Even on the cross, as He was mocked and nailed, His poise never faltered.
He bore our sins on the tree (1 Peter 2:24). He promises eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 6:47).
Have you accepted this altogether lovely One as your Savior, Lord, and Friend? If not, will you today?
