1. Himself. John xiv.
21, “He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father; and I will
love him, and will manifest myself unto him;” — “manifest myself in all my
graces, desirableness, and loveliness; he shall know me as I am, and such I
will be unto him, — a Saviour, a Redeemer, the chiefest of ten thousand.”
He shall be acquainted with the true worth and value of the pearl of price;
let others look upon him as having neither form nor comeliness, as no way
desirable, he will manifest himself and his excellencies unto them in whom
he is delighted, that they shall see him altogether lovely. He will vail
himself to all the world; but the saints with open face shall behold his
beauty and his glory, and so be translated into the image of the same
glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord, 2 Cor. iii.
