The Spirit of God ever seeks to present Christ more attractively to us and to enable our hearts to be engaged with Him as the very One to suit us at every hour if in joy, to help us in our joy; if in sorrow, to sympathize with us. Thus the heart is drawn out more adoringly and absolutely to Christ Himself as the only One who in every way satisfies.
The Lord was on the earth, a very beautiful object, and no one saw beauty in Him. But now the Spirit of God not only shows us the beauty that is in Him, but also gives us a capacity to appreciate and enjoy Him as the real and sufficient object of our hearts. This is “joy unspeakable and full of glory. ”
