How They Shine!
Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Years
ago, while preaching the Word at a Bible conference, I noticed a young
lady in one of the front pews who wasn’t listening to a word I was
saying.
I
could understand, however, for evidently she had just become engaged to
be married. Her eyes were focused on the ring on the third finger of
her left hand, and her heart and mind, evidently, on the young man who
had placed it there.
With
a pleased look on her face, and cocking her head from one side to the
other, she gazed at that diamond from every angle. No matter how she
looked at it, it shone — entirely apart from the quality of the stone.
It shone because it spoke to her of him and of his love for her, and was
the symbol of her betrothal to him.
For
some time after I had concluded my message, my mind went back to that
scene. The ring that had so occupied this young lady’s attention, made
me think of the Bible, the very Book we had been studying that night.
Examine that blessed Book ever so carefully; look at it from any angle
and it shines! It made me think too of the grand Subject of that Book,
the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom we believers have been “espoused… as a
chaste virgin” (II Cor. 11:2). Unlike any earthly friend, He shines no
matter how one looks at Him. Examine His words, His deeds, His personal
attributes, from any angle and ever so carefully, and no matter how you
look at Him He shines!
