The Beauty of Holiness

Written By Reason A. Chandler

I would begin this devotion with a question and ask what is so beautiful about Holiness. It is one of the most challenging questions to answer if you don’t know who Jesus is and what His Name means to the world or have a relationship with Him.

The text implies that we worship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness, so by the text’s suggestion, Holiness is beautiful.

As I ponder how I would answer this question, one thing I’m reminded of is I’m not holy. At least not alone, but with Jesus, as an advocate on my behalf, I can be viewed by God as holy. It is the blood of Jesus that covers and cleanses me.

Beauty is not what we perceive as beauty.
