As we conclude our journey through this worshipful hymn ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see Jesus clearly. Marvel at the majesty of our Savior. Let’s tune our hearts.
Seeing Him Clearly
When we see Jesus for who He truly is, His unmatched beauty becomes very clear. When we see ourselves clearly and then contrast that with who He is, His beauty only intensifies. He is our Savior and Lord of all.
Beautiful Saviour Lord of all the nations
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. 1 Timothy 1:15 ESV
Here we see the quality above all others that makes Jesus the fairest. He is never more beautiful to us than when we see Him as our Savior. But He is not only our Savior, He is the Savior of the world, of people like us, and not like us, though we are all the same in needing a Savior.
What makes Jesus beautiful to you? Is it something He’s done for you or is it simply something He is? Granted, these two things can be the same, but which one truly drives your affection? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the true beauty of Jesus Christ.
RESONATE!
Take a few moments and think about the beauty of Jesus.What makes Him objectively beautiful to you? Make this your simple prayer “Holy Spirit, reveal to me the true beauty of Jesus Christ”
For Who He Truly Is
Jesus humbled Himself to do the will of His Father. He was the Son of God yet became one of us so that He could offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. One of the times this was most clearly on display was when He was baptized.
The voice of the Father came from heaven declaring Jesus was His Son. He was also fully man and lived a life that is an example to us of humble obedience to the Father. Even His baptism was an example for us to follow.
Son of God and Son of Man
Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:6-7 ESV
Here are the credentials that allow Him to serve as our Savior. He is fully God, and so has untold power. He is fully man, able to identify with our every weakness. He brings that power and weakness together by becoming our Savior. There is no one more fair.
Do you believe both of these things are true of Jesus? He is the Son of God and He is the Son of Man. Both of these things are essential for Him to have become our savior. You must believe both are true. If you do not, then you did not know Jesus as scripture reveals Him.
RESONATE
Take a few moments and think about Jesus Divinity and humanity. Do you find either hard to believe? Pray this simple prayer, “Jesus, I believe You are Son of God and Son of Man.“
Jesus, thank You for being fully God and fully man. Thank you for being the Savior and Lord of the Nations. There is no one like You. In Jesus’ name.

Welcome to Tuesday Tunings at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s tune our hearts.
Beautiful Saviour Lord of all the nations
Son of God and Son of Man
Glory and honor praise adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine
What makes Jesus beautiful to you? Is it something He’s done for you or is it simply something He is? Granted, these two things can be the same, but which one truly drives your affection? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the true beauty of Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit, reveal to me the true beauty of Jesus Christ
Do you believe both of these things are true of Jesus? He is the Son of God and He is the Son of Man. Both of these things are essential for Him to have become our savior. You must believe both are true. If you do not, then you did not know Jesus as scripture reveals Him.
Jesus, I believe You are Son of God and Son of Man.
Are you driven to offer praise to Jesus? The glory that is due His name and no other? Do you sing His praise? Do you live for His glory? Do you pray and give to see His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven? Do you long to stand in His presence and praise Him?
Spirit, consume my life with a passion to praise Jesus.
Praising Jesus forever sounds great. But remember, forever includes today, right now. Are you waiting to praise Jesus? Though we long to be in His presence praising Him forever, forever starts right now. Do not wait for forever to begin. Start praising Jesus today.
Jesus, help me praise you today and every day.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.
Beautiful Saviour Lord of all the nations
Son of God and Son of Man
Glory and honor praise adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine
Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
