Greetings everyone. I thought it would be good for there to be a thread here on CC designed for the sole-purpose of praising and exulting Jesus Christ (forgive me if there are threads like this already, but I have not seen them yet). I believe a thread that is created simply to uplift His name would be honoring to Him who did (and does) so much for us.
Please post Scripture verses, hymns, poems, stories, quotes, youtube song and sermon links, or your own personal thoughts, that do not simply "mention" Jesus, but that center on Him and His worthiness as Lord and Savior.
I would kindly ask there be no debates in this thread. I enjoy debates just as much as the next person, and I think they are valuable and useful even among Christians in which to further our knowledge of God. But there are times when I just want to shut off the world, take a break from arguing and disagreements, and simply sing out to Jesus and exult Him in adoration and praise and worship. And this thread would give us the opportunity to do it together. Therefore this thread is not to "debate Jesus" but to "glorify Jesus."
If anyone else thinks this thread is a good idea, and that it can be used to exhibit the beauty and majesty of Jesus, then please join in with me and let us exult and glorify the "Name above all other names." - Philippians 2.9.
"Jesus was and is the most attractive personality that the world has ever known."
- G. Campbell Morgan, The Westminster Pulpit, Volume 1, pg 33
"Jesus took our flesh upon him. He made his soul an offering for us. How precious our salvation was to Christ! Shall we not prize and adore him who has put such a value upon us?"
- Thomas Watson, The Godly Man's Picture, pg 54
Behold The Glories of the Lamb
Behold the glories of the Lamb
Who sits upon the throne
Prepare new honors for His name
And songs before unknown.
Let elders worship at His feet
The Church adore around
With vials full of odors sweet,
And harps of sweeter sound.
Those are the prayers of the saints
And these the hymns they raise
Jesus is kind to our complaints
He loves to hear our praise.
Eternal Father, who shall look
Into Thy secret will?
Who but the Son should take that Book
And open every seal?
He shall fulfill Thy great decrees
The Son deserves it well
Lo, in His hand the sovereign keys
Of heaven, and death, and hell.
Now to the Lamb that once was slain
Be endless blessings paid
Salvation, glory, joy remain
Forever on Thy head.
Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood
Hast set the prisoner free
Hast made us kings and priests to God
And we shall reign with Thee
The worlds of nature and of grace
Are put beneath Thy power
Then shorten these delaying days
And bring the promised hour.
