One thing I have asked from the Lord that I shall seek;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple.
Psalm 27:4
What makes Christ so beautiful when His appearance was not such that we should be attracted to Him? It is the beauty of His holiness, the perfections of His character. It is His heavenly perfections on display as the glory of God is revealed through Him. As we meditate on the person of Christ, we see more deeply and more clearly the beauty of His holiness and the sublimeness of His perfections.
Father, let us leave farther and farther behind the ugliness and reproaches of our sin as we are continually being transformed into His image, more and more. May His beauty and His perfections become ours until the day when we shall be as He is. Amen.
