Fri.-Sabbath, 6/26-28/20 Devotion

Yes—it is almost Sunday, the Lord's Day, the day we especially (and coven-antally) celebrate Jesus' resurrection! In order to help get us ready for church, here is the great Thomas Watson, from his "A Body of Divinity" book:

"As Christ being clothed with our flesh makes the human nature appear lovely to God, so He [Christ] makes the divine nature appear lovely to man. The pure Godhead is so awesome to behold, that we could not see it and live; but Christ clothing Himself with our flesh, makes the divine nature more amiable and delightful to us. We need not be afraid to look upon God through Christ's human nature.

"It was a custom of old among shepherds to clothe themselves with sheep-skins, to be more pleasing to the sheep—so Christ clothed Himself with our flesh, that the divine nature may be more pleasing to us. The human nature is a mirror, on which we may see the love and wisdom and glory of God clearly represented to us. Through the lamp of Christ's humanity we may behold the light of the Deity. Christ being incarnate makes the sight of the Deity not for-midable, but delightful to us."
