0145. The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ–The Riches of His Glory

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ–The Riches of His Glory

"For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich" (2Co_8:9).

In order to comprehend the "grace of our Lord Jesus Christ", we must go back into the glory which He had with the Father, before the world was.

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity, was indeed full of glory, from all eternity. "All things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist".

The Lord Jesus Christ, was the "heir of all things". By Him God "made the worlds."

The Lord Jesus Christ was the very forthshining glory, and the expression of the Father’s being.

"Oh, could I speak the matchless worth,

Oh, could I sound the glories forth

Which in my Saviour shine,

I’d soar, and touch the Heavenly strings,

And vie with Gabriel, while he sings

In notes almost Divine.

I’d sing His glorious righteousness,

In which all-perfect, Heavenly dress

My soul shall ever shine.

I’d sing the characters He bears,

And all the forms of love He wears,

Exalted on His throne:

In loftiest songs of sweetest praise

I would, to everlasting days,

Make all His glories known."
