Jesus Christ


Written by: Paul Adkins
Jesus came to earth to live with us. He could have been rich with gold but choose to be poor to see what it feels like. For an example for us He could have had fine clothes, a fine house but he didn’t. He could have sinned when tempted to, but he didn’t. He could have fought back when they were putting him to death and lying about him. He could have killed them anytime, he wanted to. He was God but he didn’t for their sakes and ours. He could have come down off the cross at any time but he chose to die for you and me so we can be saved if we will obey his commandments.

The Two Persons in the Man Jesus Christ

Jesus was God, the Son and son of Virgin Mary. As God he knows everything about the nature of God. As he pointed on several occasions, to see (perceive) Him was to see (perceive) the Father (John 8:19; 10:30). Jesus the son of God showed the mind of God to us. He showed us how to reach the heavenly home and be with Him in eternity. He showed us miracles or signs so we could see His power and believe in Him. As God, the Son He showed us a perfect example to follow to get to Heaven by sharing with us what the Father expected from His children.

As man He knows all about our struggles because He also struggled with every human temptation. He knows what it is like to being hungry. He knows what hard work is. He knows what it is like to be weary. He knows what it is like to be rejected and for people not to like Him. He knows what it was like to be tempted by the Devil. He knows what it was like to be without and to stand forsaken by friends when you most needed them. Finally, he knew what it was like to die.

As God and man He knows what it is like to be a weak flesh and blood man. He was made a little lower than the angels to suffer death. As God he knows no sin. If He were only man He would not be any better than one of us. If He were only God and did not come to earth He would not have shown man that He understand our “infirmities”. As God the Son and Jesus the man (incarnation) He showed us what God is like and as man He knows us for who we are. Every time we pray through His name, He knows what we feel and He carries our concerns before the very throne of His and our Father.

Isn’t it great that Jesus came to this earth, lived in our midst for approximately 33 years, died for our sins and was resurrected to take our petitions before the Father. Won’t it be great to see Him one day and know Him, “face to face.”
Have You Seen Jesus?



If we don’t see the Lord through
the word we can not be converted.
Apostle Paul saw the Lord
on the road to Demascus
and was converted but your
thinking Paul was a chosen vessel.
Yes, he was. He saw the Lord physically
and talked to Him but we must see Him
with our hearts. Yes, every person must
see Him before they know Jesus
and know who he is, you must see him with
your heart and when you do
it is no different than if you really seen
Jesus face to face.
Because he lives in your heart and he will
be your friend forever more,
if you live for him.
If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father
(perceived)

No man commits to the Father except by me

I am the way and the truth

I am the Bread of life


In the beginning was the word and
the word was with God and the word
was God the same was in the beginning
with God

If you don’t believe I am He, you shall
die in your sins
A
GIFT
Sealed


How does someone get in Christ? They accept his offer, this gift, this promise of pardon through his blood. By his promise through obeying him and accepting his offer upon his commands.
So at this point one is sealed. Why is he sealed and others is not? Others have not obeyed because they have not accepted Jesus commands and accepted his gift of pardon. Can one lose this seal? Let’s call it a sealed deal with God. See, if you obeyed God to get it to start with and God wants you to walk in the light daily.
So if you turn your back on the deal you’ve made with God to walk with him out of sin in the light and go back to sin, the seal is broken. God did not break it, you did. See, he gives us this.
But you have the same right to disobey as the same right to obey.
The choice is yours.
Acts 2:36-41

Therefore let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
John 14;9
In my fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so
I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Heaven
Heaven is Bright
The Home for the Right
So Let’s shine God’s Light
And We’ll Go There some Night

Acts 1:9-11
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld,
He was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he
went up, behold, two men stood by them
in white apparel;
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing
up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken from
you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have
seen him go into heaven

Revelation 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see
Him, and they also which pierced him; and all kindreds
of the earth shall wail because if him, Even so, Amen.

Revelation 21:1-5
And I saw the new heaven and the new earth; for the first
earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holly city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned with her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with
thee, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall
be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former
things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne and said, Behold, I make
all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful.
