The nearer we come to God, the more graciously He reveals Himself to us.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Under the old covenant, God kept a distance. Even when He appeared to Moses, He said, "Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." And when He revealed Himself on Mount Sinai to His chosen people, one of the first commands was, "Set boundaries
around the mountain." But when the gospel came, everything changed. The word "Go" was replaced with "Come;" distance was replaced with closeness. We who were once far away were brought near by the blood of Jesus Christ. "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

People don’t realize the treasure that lies in the person of Christ Jesus, or they would search for it night and day. The person of Christ leaves eloquence speechless and makes the artist’s hand tremble when trying to capture Him. Even the greatest sculptor
would find it impossible to create an image of the altogether lovely One, even if it were possible to carve it in a massive block of diamond.
