After
four thousand years of human history
The
God of Creation, the LIFE giving Spirit,
Sent
His Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One;
Immanuel,
God with us; God in a human body.
Full
of the Holy Spirit without limit.
He was
sent to die as the only acceptable sacrifice
For
the sins of mankind; For your sins and my sins.
He was
sent to reveal the character and nature of God to mankind;
Those
who saw Christ Jesus saw God,
Because
the Father and the Son are One.
The
Lord of all Glory came as a baby,
Born
of a young virgin, Mary, impregnated by the Holy Spirit.
He was
laid in an animal feeding trough.
Such
was the humility of God Almighty.
He
willingly subjected Himself to His parents
And
lived in obedience to them as a young person.
At age
thirty he was baptized in water by John the Baptist;
Was
then led into the desert by the Holy Spirit;
Fasted
for forty days, and was subjected to temptation by Satan.
He
passed the test and began His ministry;
Preaching
the good news to the poor;
Proclaiming
freedom for the prisoners
And
recovery of sight for the spiritually blind;
To
release the oppressed
And to
proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. (Isaiah 61:1,2)
As was
foretold by the Prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before.
Today,
this is the ministry of The Bride Of Christ.
For
three and one-half years Christ Jesus ministered
In the
power of the Spirit;
Healing
the sick, raising the dead and preaching the good news
Of the
Kingdom of God.
Then
out of jealousy, the religious leaders of His day took Him captive,
And
sent Him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, to be crucified.
He was
mocked, scourged and crucified; nailed to a cross.
The
One who created all that exists
Subjected
Himself to this ultimate humiliation and degradation,
So
that you and I could receive forgiveness of our sins,
If we
turn to Him, Christ Jesus, in true repentance.
Throughout
the ages many have done so.
However,
most do not, and choose hell instead.
The
reality is, that it is either Heaven or hell for every living person.
I pray
that you will choose Christ and His Heaven.
Christ
Jesus is coming again, soon!
