Listen from:
" Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same."
— I. WATTS.
How every lover of Jesus delights to apply to Him these majestic words, and to say:
"From everlasting THOU art God
To endless years the SAME."
He who in the beginning WAS; and who was GOD, became flesh, became a Man, and dwelt amongst men, full of grace and truth. And as men and women and children looked upon Him they saw Him who was the WORD, Him by whom God was made known to them. And as they saw His wondrous acts and heard His gracious words, they saw the acts of God and heard God speaking. When we look at the sun and the moon and the stars, we are looking at the handiwork of Jesus, for He was the Creator of these wonders. What exalted thoughts, then, we ought to have of Him! But what must our thoughts about Jesus be when we remember that He who is so GREAT, and so glorious in majesty,—
DIED FOR US,
DIED FOR OUR SINS,
DIED TO SAVE US,
so that He might have us with Himself, and enjoy His love forever!
He has thought much about you, dear boys and girls; WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HIM?
W. L.
