Plato's Wish

 

Plato expressed a desire that the moral law might become a living personage, that men seeing it thus incarnate might be charmed by its beauty. Plato’s wish was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The holiness and the beauty of the divine law were revealed in Him. The Beatitudes are only a rescript of the life of Christ Himself. What He taught about love was but His own love stated in a course of living lessons for His friends to learn. When He said we should be patient, gentle, thoughtful, forgiving, and kind, He was only saying “Follow Me.”
