1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the
Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up into glory.
He was born in relative poverty,
yet a choir of angels filled the heavens with words of His greatness. A star
that astronomers still can’t explain to this day became the compass that
brought world leaders to worship at His crib.
His birth defied the laws of biology and His death defied the laws of mortality.
No miracle is greater than His life and teaching. He owned no cornfields or
fisheries, yet He spread a table for 5,000 and had bread and fish left over. He
never walked on expensive carpeting, yet when He walked on water it supported
Him; when He spoke the wind and the seas obeyed Him.
His crucifixion was the crime of all crimes, yet in God’s eyes no less a price
could have made your redemption possible. When He died, few mourned, yet God
hung black curtain over the sun. Those who crucified Him never once trembled at
what they’d done, yet the earth shook beneath them. Sin couldn’t touch Him.
Decay couldn’t claim His body. The soil that was reddened with His blood
couldn’t claim His dust.
For over three years He preached the gospel, yet He wrote no books, built no
cathedrals, and seemingly had no great financial resources. Yet 2,000 years
later, He’s still the central character of human history, the perpetual theme
of Christian preaching, the pivot around which the ages revolve – and the only
Redeemer of the human race!
For every other job, God sent a man. But in order to save you from sin and
forgive that sin through Power of the Cross of Calvary, God became a man.
Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give
you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and
ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find
me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
Make your commitment – ‘Come into my life, fill me with your Holy Spirit today’.
