My Best Friend

Who is the best friend ever; one who would give His life for you and has done just that?  Who has been tempted in every way, but never yielded to the temptation?  Who has fasted forty days and forty nights, was hungry and thirsty and pretty worn down, then was tested and passed every test?  What man do you know that could speak to the winds and waves and they would obey Him?  Do you know any man that could walk on water and never sink, with just His sandals or bare feet?  Do you know any man that could heal all sickness and disease and has power over demons, who was instrumental in creating the world as we know it, putting the stars and sun and moon in place plus all the planets and everything else that exists today?  Do you know a man that has totally unconditional love for all people everywhere?  Do you know a man who could raise the dead, and has?  Who do you know that could feed thousands of people with only enough food that might feed one person?   

This man I am talking about allowed people to beat Him, spit on Him and mock and humiliate Him.  He also allowed people to crucify Him, pounding nails through His hands and feet, when He had the power to stop them.  He died a terrible death.  He was a man who had no sin but was willing to take the sins of the world on Himself and shed His blood, and was willing to do it to fulfill His Father’s will and plan which was to bring about forgiveness to all who would truly repent of their sins and turn from their wicked ways and receive Him as their Lord and Savior. 

This man could perform miracles and He did on different occasions.  When He spoke, people were amazed at what He said because He spoke like a man with authority.  Do you know a man that was so humble, that even though existing in the form of God did not consider being equal to God something to be grasped?

Please read Philippians 2:5-11, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

This man died, was buried and rose from the dead because death had no power over Him and the grave had to give Him up three days later.  And when the right time comes, He will come back for His people that put their hope in Him.  There is no one else who could make this claim and many more things about Himself, but the righteous and holy begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ!!  If you don’t know Him, you can know Him, if you feel the stirring of God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit in your life and you feel like you should truly repent, turning from your sins and turning to God and confessing to Him, that is a good thing.  Asking Him to come into your heart and life and to be your Lord and Savior, that is a good thing also, in fact that is the best decision you will ever make and when He makes you a child of His you will never be the same, you will be forever changed.  One thing I am not saying is that you will never have tribulations and trials again but when they come you will be able to overcome them with the Lord on your side, praise the Lord!!

I think I have said enough have a super day and may the good Lord bless you and yours with His perfect peace, love and joy and health and happiness!!
