Our Great Savior

"The man who thinks lightly of Christ also has but poor comfort as to his own security. With a little Savior I am still in danger, but if he be the mighty God, able to save unto the uttermost, then am I safe in his protecting hand, and my consolations are rich and abounding. In these, and a thousand other ways, an unworthy estimate of our Lord will prove most solemnly injurious. The Lord deliver us from this evil.

If our conceptions of the Lord Jesus are very enlarged, they will only be his due. We cannot exaggerate here. He deserves higher praise than we can ever render to him. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high is he above our loftiest conceptions. Even when the angels strike their loudest notes, and chant his praises most exultingly on their highest festal days, the music falls far short of his excellence. He is higher than a seraph’s most soaring thought! Rise then, my brethren, as on eagle’s wings, and let your adoring souls magnify and extol the Lord your Savior."

- Charles Spurgeon

I don't think like this often enough. I don't think about how Jesus' majesty and praiseworthiness are so great that my thanks could never be enough. My view of God is nowhere near big enough. He deserves praise with my every breath, word, though deed, action. He is fully worthy of it and even all of that could not come close to matching his worthiness.

Wow. This is an amazing truth, but it's something I forget and ignore. I need to be reminded.
