Greetings Dear Reader,
When I hear people say the name of Jesus, I often wonder if
they understand what they are doing.
Recently someone told me that they never understood what all the fuss
was about Jesus. He is just a man to
them to was a historical revolutionary who was killed for causing trouble.
Those of us who are Christ followers need to embrace that
there are people who do not understand who Jesus is. I am not saying in the divine sense. It is increasingly true that many people are
unaware of him in even the historical sense.
As I explained Jesus to this friend, she, at first thought that I meant
he was crazy and believed that he was God.
I had to back up a step and explain that the entire purpose
of the events in the Bible leading up to Jesus was to lay the ground work for
his teaching, death, and resurrection.
When she realized that I was saying that Jesus is God in human form, her
first response was, “Shut the front door.”
In case you do not understand clearly what I believe about
Jesus here it is. Jesus IS the incarnate
form of the living God. He is the Son of
God the Father, born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth, who died and rose from
the dead in Jerusalem. His purpose is to
serve as the once and final payment for our sin. We receive the benefit of that payment
through faith and cannot earn it.
He does not hat ANYONE.
His accepts anyone who accepts him.
You do not have earn his favor or be “good enough” for him. He is not saddened by your failures or mad at
you for anything. He loves you and I as
deeply as he loves the best person you can think of in all of history. “It is in Christ that we live and move and
have our being.”
Some day he will return to make all things good again. He will eradicate all evil in the world and
establish a world that is empty of all that is not good. He will draw all humans to himself and his
name will be the only thing necessary for us to all bend the knee. He is the King of the Universe.
If you have questions about this, feel free to ask them Dear
Reader. It is worth your time to get to
know both the historical Jesus and the divine one. He loves you far more that you realize. He cares for you more deeply that you
understand. There is nothing you have
done or will do that surpasses his ability to forgive you.
As you read this, please try and overlook my human
side. I am not nearly like Jesus enough
to be the example you need. I am,
however, great proof that he will accept anyone. That he loves me is a testament to his grace
and mercy. He is why I love you. What are your thoughts Dear Reader?
The Bible says my King is a seven-way king:
He's the King of the Jews; that's a racial king. He's the King of Israel; that's a national
King. He's the King of Righteousness. He's the King of the Ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of Glory. He's the King of kings, and He's the Lord of
lords. That's my King. Well....I wonder,
do you know Him?
David said, "The Heavens declare the glory of God and
the firmament showeth His handiwork."
My King is a sovereign King. No
means of measure can define His limitless love.
No far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His
shoreless supply. No barrier can hinder
Him from pouring out His blessings. He's
enduringly strong. He's entirely
sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful. Do you know Him?
He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the
horizon of this world.
He's God's Son. He's
the sinner's Savior. He's the
centerpiece of civilization.
He stands in the solitude of Himself. He's august and He's unique.
He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He is the loftiest idea in literature.
He's the highest personality in philosophy. He is the supreme
problem in higher criticism. He's the
fundamental doctrine of true theology. He
is the cardinal necessity for spiritual religion. He's the miracle of the age.
He's -- yes, He is -- He is the superlative of everything
good that you choose to call Him.
He's the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Savior.
I wonder if you know Him today. He supplies strength for the weak.
He's available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves.
He strengthens and sustains. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick.
He cleansed the lepers.
He forgives sinners. He
discharges debtors.
He delivers the captives.
He defends the feeble. He blesses
the young.
He serves the unfortunate.
He regards the aged. He rewards
the diligent....and He beautifies the meek. I wonder if you know Him.
Well, my King....He is the King!
He's the key to knowledge.
He's the wellspring of wisdom. He's
the doorway of deliverance. He's the
pathway of peace. He's the roadway of
righteousness. He's the highway of
holiness. He's the gateway of glory.
Do you know Him?
Well, His office is manifold. His promise is sure....and His light is
matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. And His yoke is easy, and his burden is
light. I wish I could describe Him to
you, but He's indescribable -- Yes He is!
He is God! He's incomprehensible. He's invincible. He's irresistible. Well, you can't get Him out of your mind. You can't get Him off of your hand. You can't out live Him, and you can't live
without Him.
The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they
couldn't stop Him. Pilate couldn't find
any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn't
get their testimonies to agree. Herod
couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle
Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him. Yea!!!,
that's my King, that's my King.
Yes, and Thine is the Kingdom....and the Power....and the
Glory....Forever....and ever, and ever, and ever -- How long is that? And ever,
and ever.
And when you get through with all of the “forevers”, then.
AMEN!
Good God Almighty!
AMEN! AMEN!
Wishing you joy in the journey,

home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
