Jesus Christ

 

    Jesus is the most impactful figure in all of human history.  There has never been nor will be anyone like him.  He has been described as a great teacher, leader, prophet, and heretic.  He was a great teacher and leader, but He is also the son of God.  He is God that was placed in a human body.  He never denied who he is.  We just have to decide on if we believe or not.  Do you understand who is Jesus Christ?

    Jesus was born into this world as a baby from a virgin mother.  He grew into a man like any baby boy.  He voluntarily left Heaven to be with people.  From boyhood he grew into a strong man full of wisdom.  He had stature and his presence could not be ignored because he was favored by God.

    When Jesus Christ was in Heaven, he was God. Being God automatically set him apart from everyone else, but he set aside his independence to serve God's purpose.  He was equal to his father, but his role has always been different from his father God.  He is the only man to ever live that never sinned.  Jesus emptied himself of all that he was in Heaven to be a servant to God to humans as a human.  He knew rejection.

    Jesus experienced all aspects of life like other human beings.  He got tired and had to sleep.  He slept peacefully because he knew his purpose.  When he got hungry, he ate.  If he did not eat, then he got fatigued and vulnerable like everyone else.  When he traveled he would get worn out.  He grieved and cried when he felt loss of saw despair.   He felt pain and bled like everyone else., but he did not fear because he never had doubt.

    Jesus knew who he was.  He never denied or turned from his purpose.  He embraced it to the point of death.  When he rose again, he continued his purpose.  He was not a ghost.  He was fully God and fully human.  He had flesh and bone just like we do.
