Nature and revelation alike testify of God's love.
"God is love" is written upon every opening bud,
upon every spire of springing grass.

Look at the wonderful and beautiful things of nature. 
The sunshine and the rain, that gladden and refresh the earth, the hills and seas and plains, all speak to us of the Creator's love. It is God who supplies the daily needs of all His creatures.

The word of God reveals His character.
God has bound our hearts to Him by unnumbered tokens in heaven and in earth. *Through the things of nature, *and the deepest and tenderest earthly ties that human hearts can know, He has sought to reveal Himself to us.

Behold Him in *the wilderness, *in Gethsemane, *upon the cross! The Father loves us,... Christ was the medium through which He could pour out His infinite love upon a fallen world.
Through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ the sons of Adam may become the sons of God. By assuming human nature, Christ elevates humanity. Theme for the most profound meditation!

In describing His earthly mission, Jesus said, The Lord hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruisedLuke 4:18 In all men He saw fallen souls whom it was His mission to save.
