Don’t you love the
Bible? The written Word, of the Living
God? The more that I learn, study, and
read the Word I find how it is all hooked together. That’s why I post so many
verses when I write. I start in one area, and with one principal, and the Word
comes alive!! Before long I have half a dozen verses pointing to the same
theme.
The entire Word, of
the Living God, truly points to one thing, or subject. Do you realize that? Do you know what I am talking
about? The Creator of all that we
will ever know is our Father God. Although, Father stepped out of the
spotlight, and placed our Lord Jesus Christ, in the spotlight of all Heaven!!
Jesus is the star of Heaven!! If Father had not been hold back the
Heavenly Host, Jesus could not have fulfilled His mission on earth. The Angels
in Heaven had never heard anybody talk, about Jesus the way that they did on
earth. I am sure that it was nothing short of pure horror, the first time that
they saw, a mere mortal man strike, the King of Heaven!! Actually, all Heaven
had never even thought, that anybody would lay their hands, on the one that had
created them.
I really can’t even
put myself in their place, because I have never known Jesus, in the same way,
that they have known Him. Now that I have met Jesus, and am getting to know
Him, I have a small glimpse, at the horror that they experienced.
Ain’t you glad that
Father was with those in Heaven, and calmed them down? What do you think that He said to them? How could you accept hearing, that this is
just the way, which it has to be? I
don’t understand this!! My very small,
finite mind, can’t even grasp how this could be possible. You know what though? I am mighty glad, and grateful, that the
Heavenly Host allowed this tragedy, to take place!!
If they hadn’t
allowed it, I would have got exactly what I deserved to get. I would have got,
one non-stop ticket, into the pits of Hell!! I really don’t have anything bad
to say about Jesus. He took a sinner like me, and cleaned me up, and introduced
me to Father, as a Righteous person.
Righteous? Me?
Seriously? That had
to be an act of God!! Are you sure
Jesus? Maybe you got the wrong
person? I want to accept this as
true!! The truth is that Jesus was on
a mission.
Does anybody else
agree with me? Why the Lord Jesus Christ, would even care
about me is beyond me reasoning? However, Father told us why in this verse. John
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
If you will notice
that the words, of this passage are written in red, and that states, that Jesus
is saying these Words. Jesus knew what
He was going to have to do, in which to redeem us back to the Father. The more
I study about Jesus, the more I become simply amazed, at the love that was
inside of Him.
Do you know who
Bruce Marchiano is? Bruce portrays Jesus
in several movies like The Visual Bible, and The Encounter. If you get a chance
to watch, “The book of Matthew, from the visual Bible series,” it will do your
heart good to see the way that Bruce portrays Jesus.
Bruce’s acting has
really opened my eyes, to the way, that Jesus must have really lived His life.
I never even considered that Jesus, when He went about healing the many, in
which He healed, His reaction. I always have thought about the ones being
healed, and how they must have acted, and felt at the time. I knew that they
would almost have to be over-joyed, especially, those that had been sick or
lame, for a long time.
I don’t understand
why I never realized, that Jesus was as happy, and excited, as those that He
healed!! I also never realized how passionate, that He was to those around Him,
until the book of Matthew. There was one scene where one of the Pharisee’s was
questioning Jesus, and He walked over, and kissed him on the cheek. I almost
fell out in the floor when that happened!! I don’t know why, but that took me by
surprise.
Why would it
though? If God is love, and He is
according to the writing of John. 1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to
us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
It has been refreshing to get a different
perspective on Jesus. Please don’t take me wrong. I love Jesus with every ounce
of my heart!! However, I will not even try to tell you, that I understand any
form, which God has taken to reveal Himself.
I am learning a little bit, at a time. I am like a child, when I
discover something new, and different about Jesus. I can get really excited!!
Bruce doesn’t only
play Jesus in a few movies. He also has his own ministry, and I have never
listened to anything from him. That will change tonight though. I downloaded a
couple of his messages today. Seriously, if you have a computer, and who
doesn’t today. (I would rather have a computer, as my coffee maker!!) Download
The Book of Matthew, off of You Tube. It is a little over four hours long, but
it shows the entire book, verse by verse. It might just change the way that you
look at Jesus!! Ain’t God good?
……..Much Love
