Who Is Jesus To You

                                        

I have a neighbor that uses the name of Jesus quite often.  My neighbor uses it in a way that it shouldn’t be used.  You hear it from multitudes of people in the same way.  I dare say if you asked them who Jesus was, they wouldn’t have a clue, but they use it more than many pastors do.   They may exclaim what they have heard about Him, but that’s not really knowing Him, it is just repeating what they hear about Him.

Jesus didn’t come to dwell with us just so we would hear about Him, but He wanted us to know Him personally.  He wanted us to have a personal relationship with Him, but there is only one way that could happen and that would only be by being born-again.  Please read John chapter 3 where Jesus said you must be born-again to enter the kingdom of heaven.  Some think and say He was just a prophet some say He was a teacher some say He was a healer, but He was much more than all of these.  Some say He was a liar, a lunatic, a deceiver and much worse, because they don’t know him.  

If you truly know him, you know that he is God’s only begotten Son.  Jesus never did anything wrong and He never committed a sin.  Yes, He had a righteous anger at times, but He never sinned in His anger.  How many times do you hear people cursing and the name of Jesus is included and even God’s name?  I have some real good news for those that do these things.  Please read John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

That is super news for anyone that has not truly repented and turned from their wicked ways and turned to the Lord.  When you read that whosoever, that means you or anyone else that chooses to truly repent and turn to the Lord and receive Him into their hearts and lives as their Lord and Savior    There is more good news, and that is you can have eternal life plus an abundant life here through God’s only begotten Son Jesus Christ because that was one of the purposes He came.  He became the sacrificial lamb of God for the forgiveness of our sins. We all need a Savior since we were all born in sin with a sin nature.  Jesus didn’t come to condemn us, he came to lay down his life for us, allowing himself to be crucified and to suffer immensely and die and be buried so that we could be forgiven of our sins and cleansed of all our iniquities and be born-again by being washed in his precious blood!! And never doubt this He was raised from the dead to new life, and because of that we will all be raised someday some to eternal life with God others to eternal punishment!!  Please read John 3:17, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

So, there is good news and bad news.  If you chose to reject this truth and not receive Jesus, you will spend eternity separated from the Lord and everything that is holy and righteous and spend it in a place where there will be pain and suffering and agony plus weeping and gnashing of teeth.  

The choice is up to you, the Word of God says seek the Lord while he can still be found!!  Enough said, may you and yours have a super day and may the good Lord bless you all according to His will.  I pray that this will be a help and an encouragement to all who read it and that the truth will set you free!!
