Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ

Recently, as in yesterday, I started going through John Piper's Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ (which you can download for free here) and got to an interesting question/prompt:

"What do you love about Jesus Christ? Make a list of attributes or qualities that cause you to treasure Christ. Include biblical stories that display these qualities."

So without further ado, here is what I initially came up with:

• He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. (Hebrews 13:8)


• He is omniscient. (John 16:30)


• He is Peace, Assurance and Hope for all who believe. (1 Peter 1:13)


• He is the purification I so desperately need. (John 3:17, Hebrews 1:3, 1 John 2:2, Isaiah 25:8)
  


• His love is eternal. (Romans 8:38-39, Galatians 2:20)
  


• He is exactly who He says He is. (John 7:28-29, John 8:58, John 10:30, John 12:44-50)
  


• He was obedient, even to death on a cross. (Philippians 2:8)
  


• He was tempted in every way and was still without sin. (Matthew 4:1-11, Hebrews 4:15)
  


• He is a healer. (John 4:43-54, Luke 13:10-17, John 11:1-44)
  


• He is the promise of scripture fulfilled. (Isaiah 9: 6-7, Luke 22:35-38, Isaiah 49:6)
  


• He labored in prayer with the Father. (Matthew 26:36-46)
  

• He upholds everything by the word of His mouth. (Hebrews 1:3, John 1:1-5)
  


• He conquered death. (Matthew 28:1-10, Romans 6:4-11, 1 Timothy 1:8-10)
  

These are the ones that immediately came to mind for me, but what I really want to know is what attributes or qualities make YOU treasure Christ? What stirs your affection for Him?
