Christ Appearance » His personal appearance figuratively described
I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, and its wheels burning fire.
Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
As many were astonished at thee his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the children of men
For he shall grow up before him as a tender sapling, and as a root out of dry ground: he hath no form nor lordliness, and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light;
his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
and he that was sitting like in appearance to a stone of jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald.

This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Preciousness of Christ » Illustrated
As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons: In his shadow have I rapture and sit down; And his fruit is sweet to my taste.
The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls; and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.
