What is life without Jesus? It is simpler, but not nearly as rewarding. It is superficial. It is empty. I know I never want to go back to a life without Jesus even if it would make life easier. His life make my life majestic.
Jesus was never politically correct. That is why ever since Jesus began to speak with his authority politicians have wanted him to be silenced and disappear. Even when they killed his body, they could not silence him. Today, politicians are still trying to erase him and everything he stood for. They will not succeed because Jesus is majestic. He is God in human form to make a real connection with people. Politicians don't do that.
Jesus is God's Word that became flesh. He is the voice of the Holy Spirit that had a body. He is the power of God in human form. Jesus' majesty is that he is holy. His words produce victory. His life brought redemption. He is the communicator of great revelation that last throughout time. Jesus is great and glorious.
Jesus is eternal. He was with God and the Holy Spirit when the world was created. He is a part of your beginning and your end. He will never be compromised. He never watered down the truth. He is straight forward, but kind. He speaks in love, never hate. Hate does not affect him. Even the hate of those that killed him, only revealed how much he loves all mankind.
You can't put Jesus in a box. His majesty will not be contained by anything including time. He has control. He controls time. He has been around forever. There is no beginning or end for him. That is hard to conceive because we only understand beginnings, endings, and the story in between. It is not the same for Jesus. The Trinity have worked as an eternal unite of perfection and harmony. Their unity is the glue for Christianity.
Jesus's life, death, resurrection, and hope for when he returns again is what sustains and fuels Christianity. If it were not true, then Christianity would not exist. Jesus is the one that united people with God. He opened the door for people to be adopted into God's family.
Jesus did declare that he is God. That is what set the Pharisees (religious politicians) over the edge. That is why they were so determined to destroy him. If he existed, then their power would be limited if not taken away all together. Politicians like power, so they will do whatever it takes to keep it.
Jesus declared his majesty by giving people faith. He provides the faith by giving people divine revelation. He is true greatness and demonstrated that throughout his human life. Jesus taught us how to worship. He understands our emptiness without him. He tries his best to connect with us so that we never feel empty or alone in the world.
Jesus' power is unlimited and unquestionable, but he holds himself back so that we can truly have the gift of free will. He gives us grace that we do not deserve. His grace can be measured by how he lived. It is received through his message. It gives us hope. It is displayed by Jesus forgiving our sins and erasing them from our eternal record. He is the best gift we could ever accept.
Jesus is glorious. His grace and truth teach us everything we need to know to live a full life. The weight of being a Christian is taking eternity seriously. However, all we have to do is talk to people and live our Christianity out to look like Jesus to the best of our ability. He still carries almost all the weight for us. Life without Jesus is worthless. We all need him, but we have to realize that on our own.
Jesus was a real person. He is still a living person in Heaven with God, but he is also God so he will never die again. It was only his human body that died, not him being God. He is exalted. He is majestic. He is true love.
