><>...Just chose this post Mark because it was the last one...><> throne ... stood a Lamb as it had been slain.” — Revelation 5:6 Why should our exalted Lord appear in his wounds in glory? The wounds of Jesus are his glories, his jewels, his sacred ornaments. To the eye of the believer, Jesus is passing fair because he is “white and ruddy;” white with innocence, and ruddy with his own blood. We see him as the lily of matchless purity, and as the rose crimsoned with his own gore. Christ is lovely upon Olivet and Tabor, and by the sea, but oh! there never was such a matchless Christ as he that did hang upon the cross. There we beheld all his beauties in perfection, all his attributes developed, all his love drawn out, all his character expressed. Beloved, the wounds of Jesus are far more fair in our eyes than all the splendour and pomp of kings. The thorny crown is more than an imperial diadem. It is true that he bears not now the sceptre of reed, but there was a glory in it that never flashed from sceptre of gold. Jesus wears the appearance of a slain Lamb as his court dress in which he wooed our souls, and redeemed them by his complete atonement. Nor are these only the ornaments of Christ: they are the trophies of his love and of his victory. He has divided the spoil with the strong. He has redeemed for himself a great multitude whom no man can number, and these scars are the memorials of the fight. Ah! if Christ thus loves to retain the thought of his sufferings for his people, how precious should his wounds be to us! “Behold how every wound of his A precious balm distils, Which heals the scars that sin had made, And cures all mortal ills. “Those wounds are mouths that preach his grace; The ensigns of his love; The seals of our expected bliss In paradise above.” Spurgeon, Charles Have a blessed evening all †

To All- Here is something that may interest you(or it may not). clubs.yahoo.com That link is to a thread that is dedicated to the book, Conversations with God. It is a new age related book with concepts that you probably won't agree with. The reason I mention it is that there are some very interesting discussions on the thread. there is an individual named Moses Johnson, who is a born again Christian. He has had an ongoing conversation(mostly pleasant) wherein he says pretty much the same things you folks say here. It is a very interesting and mostly civil debate. I think most of you would like it. I have only one request to make. If you do chose to get involved in the conversation, please keep the discussion within the civil boundaries that you would you like someone entering this thread to maintain(not that I would expect you to do any different:-) ) Mark Also, if you do read the messages, I would be interested in any thoughts that you had. You can relate those thoughts to me here or via PM if you like. I would be happy to civilly talk about it with any of you, even Emile if he would like to do it without having to condemn anyone. :-)
