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.

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...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
