“Yeah, he is
altogether lovely. “ Song of Solomon 5:16
“Altogether lovely,” i.e., transcending all created excellencies in
beauty and loveliness.
There is nothing unlovely found in Him, so all that is in Him
is wholly lovely.
He embraces all things that are lovely: He seals up the sum
of all loveliness.
All other loveliness can not satisfy the soul of man. But
Jesus Christ is in every way sufficient to the vast desires of the soul.
The beauty and loveliness of all other things are fading and
perishing; but the loveliness of Christ is fresh for all eternity. The
sweetness of the best created thing is a fading flower; if not before, yet
certainly at death it must fade away. Job
4:21: “Doth not their excellency, which is in them go away? They die even without wisdom.” Yes, yes, whether they are the natural
excellencies of the body, acquired endowments of the mind, lovely features,
graceful qualities, or anything else we find attractive; all these like
pleasant flowers are withered, faded, and destroyed by death. But Christ is still the same yesterday, and today,
and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
