The Wonderful Christ

He is the most important man who ever lived. He had the greatest impact on the world that anyone has ever had. The Son of God came into the world to save sinners. And that is exactly what He does. He is a “friend of sinners” (Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:34). And those who will admit their sin—the fact that they have transgressed the will of their Creator, Almighty God—will find in Him the best friend they have ever had. No one has ever loved or cared for you like Jesus does.

“This comes from the Lord Almighty as well— the Lord of hosts is wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom” (Isaiah 28:29). The Lord is perfect and wonderful in every way. The things He knows, the wisdom He shares, the things He has done for us, the things He is doing for us presently, and the things He will do for us in the future and eternally all speak to the wonderful love and magnificence of Jesus.

One of the things that Christ’s earthly life reveals to us is that all of His works are good and mighty and wonderful. He makes no mistakes. He does no wrong. We often hear believers say that “God is good all the time.” And that is a totally accurate statement. It is impossible for God to do something that is not good.

A woman was healed by Jesus from an infirmity she had been dealing with for eighteen years (Luke 13:10-17). Luke described deeds such as this as “glorious things” being done by Jesus. His deeds were glorious and wonderful because His heart was glorious and wonderful. And these things are still true.

Our Lord is wonderful. Nothing can compare to Him. You will never exhaust beautiful things to think about Him. Set your focus today on Christ. Think about His wonderful nature. His unfailing love. His marvelous goodness. The magnificence of His person. Fill your thoughts with these things. The things of Christ.
