Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ!

Romans 3: 23 and 24 for all have sinned and lack the glory of God, being justified by his grace, through the redemption in Christ Jesus.

When I go to a football match, then I'm not going down the line and watch to certain types of bird in the sky. It is of course possible, but that’s not why I'm going to that football game. Would you like to bird watching, then you better go to another silent place. This might be a crazy example, but what do you think  it means? 

What is faith about according to you? Have you ever wondered that? Many people have an opinion about it. It should be about your sins or about God. It should be about what we can and cannot do or about love. Many different opinions, but this should not at all rest on an opinion. It is written in the Bible which says: it should be about Jesus Christ!

If I have ask you: who is Jesus Christ? Then you can hear different views. Outside the Christianity they know him as a prophet, but within Christianity as the son of God. Jesus Christ is the Son of the highest God! He is not just a man who has lived on Earth, no he is God and He came to Earth as a man. A man of flesh and blood. 

Christ had to come to Earth, because we miss the glory of God. Every person has sinned, and is of God departed, every man will miss the glory of God. You are missing then what it's all about in life. It runs all out to the glory of God! That is the purpose of our lives, without Christ we miss our goal!

But that is not all, Christ is come to Earth! He had to be tortured, he had to be killed. But He is risen from the dead. That Christ has not abandoned us, but brought salvation for us. He has given our lives a purpose and that purpose is: the glory of God! And all that for free. You can add anything or pay by yourself, no he has fully paid for the sin. You should keep your hands open and He shall fill them with his grace. 

Faith runs only to Christ! If we talk to each other about all kinds of things, but we're not talking about Christ, that is missing its purpose. If we draw up rules within the Church, but it is beyond the perspective of Christ, then it is missing its goal. Everything we do outside Christ, will misses his target. Think about that!

Let Jesus Christ be the center of your life, he does it all for you. Let him fill you with his grace, then everything comes to stand in a different perspective. The way we stand in life, what we do and don't do. What we say, think and do. The way we do in Church and Bible study. He wants to reveal himself to us over and over again and then we see more and more of his glory. There you may enjoy it, it's wonderful to belong to Christ, not always easy because we are still sinner, but with a purpose!

Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, for what Thou did for me. I may now live ever closer to Thou hand. Flow over your heart with love for us, your grace is so great! I thank Thou for all thou give. I can't live without Thee, because then everything is missing its goal. Thou are so great and Thou are worth it to be served. Let me serve Thou completely so Thou will be increased in my life! I love you!
