In summary, Jesus is my Brother, my Physician, my Prophet, my Priest, my King, my Father, my Head, my Husband. In eternity when I shall dwell in the land of bliss, in the city of God–Jesus will be the light thereof. And since I am to worship there forever, He will be the temple of all the redeemed.
My needs are many–but His fullness is infinitely more!
