By Bible Names of God

      Isai 4:2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth [shall be] excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. {beautiful...: Heb. beauty and glory} {them...: Heb. the escaping}

      The Divine and human in Christ can not be seperated. "I and My Father are One" says Christ in Jn 10:30, attesting to His Deity. In Jer 23:5 we read: "I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch, and a King shall reign," and this speaks of His humanity. Now add to the title "A Righteous Branch" the words "beautiful and glorious" and you have a perfect picture of Him Who, as our High Priest, could be touched with the feelings of our infirmaties, and yet who was "God manifest in the flesh". Great is the mystery of godliness!

      How we thank Thee, Thou "Branch of the Lord" that we can come close to Thee at any time. Amen
