How great is Jesus Christ, I don't think any of our descriptions will ever do justice, i'm not going to try! Forgive me if it seems that I am, what follows is more a declaration of Him as we have revealed to us, and it is probably more for His praise than your reading.
Prophets told of Him for thousands of years, telling details of His life and ministry, and they sought to understand what they prophecied (1 Peter 1:10-11).
Born of a virgin, astonished the religious leaders as a child with His wisdom and questions, and had a wierd cousin who baptized people, preaching repentance and then rejoices when Jesus begins His public ministry;
Jesus turned water to wine (John 2:1-11), healed every illness or disease under the sun (Matt 4:23), made blind to see, lame to walk, walked on water, raised the dead and much much more, (Pretty impressive in my book).
And the words that He spoke...WOW!!!
His teachings were and still are world shaking, (for example He abolishes universalism by saying "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me", As far as I can see He doesn't leave any credit with any other religion or belief with that statement).
Every time the religious leaders tried to trick Him with their questions HE gives ridiculously foolproof answers and in the end they give up and plot to kill Him off instead!
And to top this all off He claim's to be God, (Matt 26:62-66).
And then procceeds to take the punishment that we deserve upon Himself and God the Father pours out His wrath upon Him.
He died...........went to hell, not to stay but merely to taunt those 'fallen angels' that are in chains there (1 Peter 3:18-20) and then goes to heaven to meet up with the theif He forgave while He was dying (Luke 23:39-43).
After three days He comes back to Earth, rising from the dead, and shows Himself to many witnessess prooving His resurection!
Then He says He'll be back, goes back to heaven but sends His Spirit to indwell His followers, empowering them to continue His ministry on earth and today sits at the right hand of the Father mediating for us!
What a King! History is dated around His bith (B.C & A.D.) and He is the most influencial man in the history of the world!
And He will be back, and with much more power and strength than Arnie ever had, Jesus will come back to judge every person who has ever lived, casting those who do not trust Him and His cross, who do not follow Him as God, into eternal torment, seperate from Him.
And
For us who Love Him and Submit to Him as Lord.... Well...that too is hard to describe; eternal paradise WITH HIM! and that is the best part, we'll be with Him!
