His name! 
(from Winslow's, "The Fragrance of Christ's Name") 

There is everything we need in Jesus 
to endear His name to our hearts. 

He is our Prophet, teaching us the will of the Father. 

He is our Priest, offering up Himself as our atoning Victim. 

He is our King, erecting His throne in our 
hearts, and subduing us to Himself as His 
loving and obedient subjects. 

He is our Friend, loving us at all times. 

He is our Brother, bone of our bone, and 
flesh of our flesh, born for our adversity. 

He is our Great High Priest, touched with 
the feeling of our infirmities, tempted in all 
points as we are and in our sorrows, griefs, 
and trials encircling us with the many folded 
robe of His tender, loving sympathy. 

O to know Jesus, that most excellent and 
superlative knowledge! With Paul we may well 
count all things but loss for its possession. 

To know Him as the Savior, to know Him as 
our Friend, to know Him as our Brother, to 
know Him as our Advocate, to know Him as 
our Portion, is endless life and glory!

Amen!

Excellent Post!

 

Here is more of the quote from the Apostle Pauls letter to the Philippian Church. 

 

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of His Resurrection, and the fellowship of His Sufferings being made conformable unto His Death; If by any means I might attain unto the Resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3:7-11

 

God Bless You,

David
