Who IS Jesus???  A Word from THE WORD!!! #168

As we go into this weekend of celebrations for the Christ Child-The Redeemer of man, The God-Man Savior, I thought it would be a good time to rehearse (or to acquaint you with) the scriptural names, and descriptions regarding Jesus.  I pray that it will encourage you to look to Jesus, and to dig into The Word to get to know Him better—both who HE IS and what HE came to BE and DO!  I’ll make very little commentary; I just want to let The Word speak to each of us during this season!  Blessings on you and yours as you seek not only the ‘babe in the manger’ but the ‘crucified ONE’ who is coming again soon!

“In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him;

and without him was not any thing made

that was made.

4 In him was life;

and the life was the light of men…

….14 And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld his glory,

the glory as of the only begotten

of the Father,)

full of grace and truth.”   John 1:1-4 & 14

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners

spake in time past unto the fathers

 by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days

spoken unto us by his Son,

whom he hath appointed heir of all things,

by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of his glory,

and the express image of his person,

and upholding all things by the word of his power,

when he had by himself purged our sins,

sat down on the right hand

of the Majesty on high;

4 Being made so much better

than the angels,

as he hath by inheritance obtained

a more excellent name than they.”  Hebrews 1:1-4

“I and my Father are one.”  John 10:30

“I am the good shepherd,

and know my sheep,

and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me,

even so know I the Father:

and I lay down my life for the sheep.”   John 10:14-15

“For unto us a child is born,

unto us a son is given:

and the government

shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor,

The mighty God,

The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace

there shall be no end,

upon the throne of David,

and upon his kingdom,

to order it,

and to establish it

with judgment

and with justice from henceforth

even for ever.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”   Isaiah 9:6-7

And in closing, a reminder that Jesus IS coming again—and HE won’t be hidden in a barn this time.

“And from Jesus Christ,

who is the faithful witness,

and the first begotten of the dead,

and the prince of the kings of the earth.

Unto him that loved us,

and washed us from our sins

in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests

unto God and his Father;

to him be glory and dominion

for ever and ever. Amen.”  Revelation 1:5-6

“And I saw heaven opened,

and behold a white horse;

and he that sat upon him

was called Faithful and True,

and in righteousness

he doth judge

and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire,

and on his head were many crowns;

and he had a name written,

that no man knew,

but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:

and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven

followed him upon white horses,

clothed in fine linen,

white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,

that with it he should smite the nations:

and he shall rule them

with a rod of iron:

and he treadeth the winepress

of the fierceness

and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh

a name written,

KING OF KINGS,

AND LORD OF LORDS.”  Revelation 19:11-16

I pray that you know this King of Kings, and look to HIM in all things, not just at Christmas time, but every moment of every day!  May you have a blessed and Merry Christmas!

Amen and Amen!!!
