Who is This Jesus?

by

Who is this Jesus?  He was made heir of all things by the Living God.  He was given the status of Son by the Living God.  He was taught by the Father how to create all that is created.  He has loved righteousness and hated wickedness.  And so He was elevated to the status of God Most High.  He is the radiance of God’s Glory; the exact representation of God.  He is the spoken and speaking Word of God.  Who is this Jesus?

The world thinks of Jesus as a little baby.  And in that form He is conveniently small and insignificant.  Yet that is not the Jesus of God’s understanding.  He is a prophet to some, yet that is not the Jesus of God’s understanding.  He has been with the Father from the beginning and will remain with Him forever.  He is the redeemer of men; causing them to become holy as the Father is Holy.  Yet the world sees Him as a nuisance. 

We will see Him as the One who endured GREAT pain for the sake of His Father’s will.  When we see Him, He will be dressed in absolute Glory.  For now many see Jesus as an irritation.  On the Day of God’s Wrath, we will see Him as He is.  No longer will men doubt.  No longer will they rail against righteousness.  No longer will they kill, maim, chide, and relegate God’s people to obscurity. 

The wicked will perish like a ball of cotton in an intense flame.  They will scream with terror at the prospect of their fate.  And they will hate Jesus with an eternal hatred.  I do not wish anyone to endure what is coming for the wicked.  Please consider what He is.  Consider with a great trembling.  You are about to meet your maker.  His name is Jesus.

God is Out of Time.

“Whad ya do yesterday?”   How often is that question asked?  And in how many languages?  What you did yesterday does have impact on today.  But what you do today is far more important. 

I was amazed when I first heard the writer of Hebrews refer to a day as a place.  Hmmm  wow and awesome.  God is out of time.  His view of our limited notion of time is that of places.  It’s as though we walk from one place to another and pass certain places.  And in this respect, the writer had a billions of tons of information in another statement:  “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

If yesterday only matters because you passed it, how much more important is today?  Consider something.  You, like all people, will soon run out of todays.  What will you do when God refers to all the places you’ve been?

got love?

The desire for “being loved” is a strong engine. We see people do amazingly stupid things just for the notion of being loved. And God set the bar higher than our innate desire for love. In many ways God has said, “I set this consuming fire before you. Enter it and you will receive pure love”.

For all the stupid things we do to get a notion of love. Few are willing to die for it.

“Let Me In, I’m a Cool Person”.

You have spent your years gathering what you cannot keep.  You have built a name for yourself.  But have you built up a place in your life for God’s name?  It is your lot to live just a few tiny years more (if God allows).  What name will you present to the Glorious God on the Day of Judgment? 

“I was captain of the football team when I was a teen.  I am worthy to enter Your eternity”.

“I was a beautiful woman.  Every where I went men looked my way.  Since I’m beautiful, let me enter”.

“I was successful at making money.  I didn’t let anyone over take me in the market.  And I acquired millions.  Let me work for you, God, and I’ll make you money too”.

“I was a drunk.  But I have a great sense of humor. Let me enter and I’ll bring you tons of laughter”.

“I was a lonely man.  I threw away a perfectly good marriage.  And I regret what I did.  No one will care about me anymore.  Let me come in and I will not bother anyone”.

“I was a very religious woman.  I set the record straight for many a wayward person.  Every time I saw someone doing bad I chided them for it.  Let me in and I’ll keep your people straight for you”.

And on it goes.  Billions of people trying to excuse themselves from serving the Holy God of Eternity.  Do you think these people are a bit over the top?  We all know these people exist.  And they’re sure they can wiggle their way into His Good Graces because they were special.

No one will be allowed into eternity, but he who does the will of the Father in Heaven.  Don’t be fooled!  This is the Place of Testing.  God is testing the hearts of every man, woman, and child RIGHT NOW.  What is the will of the Father?  Believe on the Son of God.  Believe to the point of obedience.  It has been refered to as “The Faith”.

AWAKE!

Awake!  Awake!  Awake!  You are about to encounter the maker of your finger prints!  When it comes, the time will show the Majesty of the God you now place second (or whatever place you give Him).  Hold up your heads, you people of the Most High God.  Our time draws close.  We are near the door! 

World, you sleep in contentment.  Woe to you!  You gain every desire and moan when you are denied.  Count your foolishness in the light of the Most High God.  WAKE!  How rude will be the awakening as the Most High God enters time.

Theology.

Theology is the “God knowledge”.  Men use that term to study God as one would study a germ.  They dissect the Bible as though it were a dead frog.  But that is not what I mean by the use of that word.

Theology is a seeking after the Holiness of God.  It is not a scientific Christianity.   Seeking God is useful to all.  Scientific debate is useful for no one.  The former changes lives.  The latter tends to “puff up”.  (This post would surely ruffle the puffy feathers of those who hold their brains so dear.)
