But no matter how it\u2019s translated, it cannot express the splendor, majesty, power and greatness of the King of Heaven! The Hebrew word is addiyr (ad-deer) which is the highest excellence which also carries the idea of being complete in every way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the excellence that was veiled in human flesh and walked by faith, lived in hope, and loved beyond mere human capacity! This is the excellence that held multitudes spellbound with words that were never uttered before, miracles that were never witnessed before, mercy that was never imagined before; and love that embraced the rich and powerful, as well as the drunkard and prostitute as those who are valued by God, to which the Pharisees ascribed to Him the title, \u201cFriend of Sinners!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And though Jesus never partook of their sin, He could sit with them and talk with them and never once made them feel as if they were less of a person than anyone else! His love wasn\u2019t cloaked in religion either. His love was genuine! He proved it when He died for us all! These are the qualities of excellence that still invite us to taste the same grace, faith, mercy and truth that others did. It\u2019s still as real today as it was then. (Hebrews 13:8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a love that never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8), a love that is alien to this fallen world. The only reason we can know this kind of love is because Jesus revealed it to us in all He did. It was all for us that He came and lived and died. He is the One whose excellence comes from the excellent love of the Father. He is the One who came into this world to pay the only price ever accepted in heaven for you and me; a price that gave us the right to experience His excellent Name, and His excellent love for eternity! \u201cO LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Tom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\">Kingdom Business is Eternal, as are the rewards that come from God.
