Acquaintanceship with Christ – Charles Spurgeon

WITNESSES about other things exaggerate, but witnesses concerning Jesus Christ always fall short. Painters have frequently won repute by making portraits fairer than the originals, but none can ever paint Jesus with a pencil that shall give too much of luster to his noble face. He is so glorious that even angels who have seen him all their lives, and bowed before him where his splendor is best revealed, could not tell to man nor to one another the thousandth part of his excellencies. If you want to know him you must see him for yourself. You must make him your personal acquaintance; you must press by faith into the inner circle, and cry with the spouse, “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine.”
