One word, or one name which brings to mind different thoughts to different people; depending on what it means to them or who He is to them...
For some, it is just an exclamation word you say when surprised or when in danger... While for some, it is more than just a word and more than just another name...
And as familiar as we may have gotten with that name, it is certainly not a myth nor a fairy tale that indeed there was One man by that name who walked physically upon the Earth over 2000 years ago...
One who like every other man had flesh and blood; but unlike any other man, lived like a Super-human, not only by the supernatural things He did; but also the unusual life He lived; being the only human known to have had no moral faults nor imperfections of any sort...
And irrespective of the diverse religious views of His person and personality; the one fact remains that that Jewish Jesus Who hailed from Nazareth of Isreal, was not a "normal" human...
Everything about Him carried something unusual: From His birth, to His childhood, to His growing up, to His teachings, to His wisdom, to His actions, to His critics, to His crucifixion, to His death, to His burial, to His resurrection, and His ascension...
Same Jesus Who is the reason for two of the biggest yearly calendar events worldwide till date: Christmas, and Easter... There is sure more to His story than just another tale from history...
Indeed, He is the Son of God, as many testified!... He was born of a Virgin by the seed and power of God, made in the likeness of man to reveal the original nature of the first man (Adam) who God had created before the fall; And to be the ultimate and final sacrifice for the sins of all humanity...
The price He paid with His sinless blood and the gruesome death He died by the hands of the same people He came to save; remains the greatest show of love ever in all of history and beyond... Much more so the greatest feat which He attained by reconciling humanity back to their Maker...
Jesus, the Christ, the Saviour of the world was as much a man as He was God Himself... The truth which remains a mystery that the natural human mind would never fully comprehend...
But indeed, Jesus was God Who took on human flesh to show humanity what the nature of the one true God is, and how He desires humans who He made in His image to live...
Though He was criticized, condemned and eventually crucified for no just cause asides for the good He did and the truths He spoke; He was the only sacrifice perfect enough to satisfy God's requirement for the atonement for all the atrocities of humanity, emanating from their hearts which are too hard to understand or express God's kind of love...
And Today! All who have believed and accepted this sacrifice have all their sins forgiven, both past, present, and even future sins...
And Now! Man can once again draw near to God without guilt or shame, regardless of their many weaknesses and failures...
And Now! Man can once again draw near to God without guilt or shame, regardless of their many weaknesses and failures...
Because indeed, the price has been paid; not by anyone else, but by God Himself!
“...For this is how God loved the world: He gave His One and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 (NLT)
"...For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation..." 2 Corinthians 5:19 (NLT)
Do you believe???
If not, I encourage you today to accept Him into your heart as your Saviour and make Him the Lord of your life, and with that, you will begin a loving and rewarding relationship with God your Heavenly Father through Jesus, the Christ!
Thank you for reading!
