Jesus Christ: God’s Love Gift to Humanity

 

Jesus Christ: God’s Love Gift to Humanity 

"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma."  (Ephesians 5:2) KSB

   Jesus Christ is God’s love gift to us, to humanity, to you personally, and to me individually. Scripture tells us: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” This powerful truth reminds us that God’s love is demonstrated in His giving. He gave us His Son, and Jesus gave His very life for us. Jesus is not only our Savior but also our way-shower. He is the pattern Son, the example of what it means to be both fully human and fully divine. His life gives us a model for how to live, think, speak, and love. Whenever we face choices, we can ask: “What would Jesus do? What would Jesus say? What would Jesus think?” This guidance is a priceless gift we don’t have to wander through life aimlessly. Jesus is our direction and our standard.

   Because God gave me Jesus, I know that I AM forgiven. I AM redeemed. I AM saved from guilt, shame, condemnation, sin, and even the grave. Through Jesus, I walk free not under the power of sin, but under the power of grace. Scripture reminds us: “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” Jesus also shows us what it means to be anointed. The Bible declares that God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power, and He went about doing good, healing the oppressed, and demonstrating God’s kingdom. Because Jesus lived in the anointing, He gives us permission to walk in ours. He is Christ the Anointed One and through Him, we can live out our calling, gifts, and divine purpose.

   Jesus is also the King of kings and Lord of lords. He models what it means to reign not by controlling others but by ruling ourselves under God’s authority. He teaches us how to walk in dominion and live as royalty in God’s kingdom. Only a King can redefine the game of life not by rituals and regulations but by relationship with the Father. Because of Jesus, I see differently, hear differently, speak differently, and walk differently. My perspective shifts to the divine because I am united with Him. Truly, Jesus is God’s ultimate love gift, Savior, Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords, and the One who shows us how to live in the fullness of God’s divine nature.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
