1 | Great answer, kalos! My two cents... | Col 3:17 | kalos | 16969 | ||
P.S. The name Christ when used with the name Jesus is loaded with scriptural meaning. In the gospels, the Jewish religious leaders had no problem recognizing "the carpenter's son" as Jesus. But most of them would rather die and go to hell before ever confessing that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah). |

True, Christ (Messiah) is loaded with meaning. And most of the Jewish leaders expected the Messiah to overthrow the Roman Empire. But Christ made it clear that His kingdom (at that time) was not of that world. One day, during the Millenium, it will be. But, you're right. All they saw was Jesus of Nazareth, a carpenter's son. And they thought that because they 'kept the Law' that they would go to heaven. Even the disciples wanted to argue over who would be the greatest. I firmly believe the One who is the greatest is the One who was the most humbled - Phil 2:6-11. What a wonderful Savior! Blessings in Christ, Bill Mc |
