the person of beauty

The more I ponder beauty and Beauty, the more I realize that Beauty is a person; the person of Jesus. All beauty and its expressions have their origin in Him. He is beautiful in appearance (Rev. 1), in  perfect love, in perfect justice, in perfect mercy. C.S. Lewis writes that we desire to be united with the beauty that we see and experience. I believe this is true also in the sense that we desire unity with the person of Beauty. We crave unity with the divine and are not eternally satisfied with anything else because eternity has been set in our hearts.
