We Admire Jesus- The Lamb & The Lion!
* we admire him for his glory, but even more because his glory is mingled with humility;
* we admire him for his uncompromising justice, but even more because it is tempered with mercy;
* we admire him for his majesty, but even more because it is a majesty in meekness;
* we admire him because of his equality with God, but even more because as God's equal he nevertheless has a deep reverence for God;
* we admire him because of how worthy he was of all good, but even more because this was accompanied by an amazing patience to suffer evil;
* we admire him because of his sovereign dominion over the world, but even more because this dominion was clothed with a spirit of obedience and submission;
* we love the way he stumped the proud scribes with his wisdom, and we love it even more because he could be simple enough to love children and spend time with them;
* and we admire him because he could still the storm, but even more because he refused to use that power to strike the Samaritans with lightning and he refused to use it to get himself down from the cross.

~To Him That is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy...to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.~ Jude 24
