Jesus had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of Himself that He had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, He set aside the privileges of Deity and took on the status of a slave, became human!
We at Newday-Prince strongly believe that Jesus is very important and central to our Christian walk and faith.
Why?
Because of His obedience, God lifted Him high and honoured Him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in Heaven and on Earth – even those long ago dead and buried – will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that He is the Master of all, to the glorious honour of God the Father.
__What’s so special about Jesus?
Focusing on the life of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, all wrote accounts of how Jesus imparted skills and knowledge with such expertise and clearness of speech. He was concerned about our destiny, our relationship with God, and how we should relate to each other.
Jesus also carried out miracles which included: Turning water into wine, feeding the five thousand, walking on water, healing the blind, curing the Paralytic, the leper, epileptic, those with fever and even raising the dead!
Jesus came to find and restore the lost.
He came for those who are rejected from society or home.
He came for those who find themselves in degrading situations.
He came for those who are suffering with sorrow and pain.
He came for those who aren’t in good physical or mental health.
He came for those who move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food.
He came for the city executive, those who are engaged in manual labour, the casual worker or even those without employment.
He came for those who are dazzlingly skilled in any field.
He came for those who have stopped functioning and abandoned their dreams.
He came for those who think they are okey-dokey.
He came for anyone and everyone.
Jesus lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death – and the worst kind of death at that – a crucifixion.
He died, to demonstrate how much God loves us, and to give everyone the freedom to receive for themselves – the sureness that our sins are forgiven.
if we acknowledge our sins, and change our wrongdoings, He won’t let us down; He’ll be true to His word. He’ll forgive our sins and clear us of all charges.
Because of what Jesus did, He shows us how much God loves us.
But hey, the story of the life of Jesus doesn’t finish there!
After His death; on the third day, He rose again.
Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. If we believe in Him, even though we may die, we shall live.
