Sabbath Quiet: What God is Like

The bridge of grace will carry your weight. ~Charles H. Spurgeon

Christ walked with men on earth that He might show them what God is like and make known the true nature of God to a race that had wrong ideas about him.

This was only one of the things He did while here in the flesh, but this he did with beautiful perfection.

From Him we learn how God acts toward people.

The hypocritical, the basically insincere, will find him cold and aloof, as they once found Jesus; but the penitent will find Him merciful; the self-condemned will find Him generous and kind.

To the frightened he is friendly, to the poor in spirit he is forgiving, to the ignorant, considerate; to the weak, gentle; to the stranger, hospitable.

The greatness of God rouses fear within us, but His goodness encourages us not to be afraid of Him. To fear and not be afraid–that is the paradox of faith
