Bible Question:
On the way to Emmaus they were talking about him, and a stranger joined them and listened. What were they talking about? "What things"? And they said unto him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him". They thought he had been a mighty prophet, and that he was now dead. But they learned, and their hearts burned as they listened. By the end of the day they had corrected some of their thinking, and when they talked again, their talk was different. Their thoughts were different. And I'd like to talk about him, if you would. I've learned some things about him. So have you, I'm sure. You say it and you sing it in your meetings. Let us share our thoughts about him. What do you think about the One who is called Christ? |
Bible Answer: Hi Noble :) I hope your Thanksgiving Day was indicative of who I have learned you to be (smile). Let me tell you what I think of The Christ, Jesus. He is the most valuable and cherished of my friends. It is hard to conceive in my mind how he could look beyond my wretched state of sin and Love me none the less, and choose to die in my place. (I am the one who deserves the humiliation and suffering that He endured) I think that Christ is the epitomy of all I desire to be. He is Love and He is humility, He is graceful and forgiving. He has healed my body and mind. He is my All in All, His very name has the power to calm my fears. He has shown me what I could not see. He has given me more than I could ever imagine. He has truly opened doors of opportunity in my life that NO one has had the power to close, and He and closed doors of my life that will never be opened again. He has offered me the right to eat from the Tree of Life. He has made me His and I know that He is mine. He has given me victory, over the enemy and He has given me joy in the midst of sorrowful days. I think He is radically AWESOME and there is not enough megabyte or pixel space on the world wide web, that could contain all the Good He is to me. What do I think about the One who is called Christ? I think He truly saves indeed, in every aspect He saves. He is worthy to merit my praise. And I believe that everyone who has Him (not knows about Him... But who has Him) they should share Him, with a lost and dying world! Noble....??? Don't you just Love Him??? :)Kathy |
