Isn't He Beautiful?


One evening years ago at Super Saturday, we started to sing. Areli, age 7, leaned close to me and softly said, “I love this song; it makes me cry.”

The music and words about Jesus, her Savior, touched her heart: “Isn't He beautiful? Beautiful, isn't He? Prince of peace, Son of God, isn't He?”

Yes, the Lord Jesus is beautiful. We don't find a specific reference in the Bible describing Him that way, but His personal character is strong yet gentle, holy yet forgiving, majestic yet humble-all combined. Simply beautiful! 

Singing and doing motions to a song at
Super Saturday/Wild Wednesday.  
In his prophecy, Isaiah described Jesus and His coming in this way: “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). 

Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor-giving us comfort and wisdom. The Mighty God-acting with power and authority. The Everlasting Father-providing for all our needs and protecting us. And the Prince of Peace-offering reconciliation with God and others.

Isn't Jesus beautiful! Worship Him.
