Who is this? When you get to know him for who he really is, your life will never be the same again!

People asked and needed to know then, and people at least need to know today.

This Jesus who was born, of a virgin, in Bethlehem, was and is the Son of God – the Christ – the Messiah.

We date our days from his birth, and one of his many titles is Prince of Peace and he came, and he comes, offering peace to men and nations, Jew and Gentile.

This meek and humble man spoke with amazing authority.

Evil spirits and demons were afraid of him; however, the children played with Jesus and sat on his knees to be hurt.

When dealing with needy sinners, he was kindly loving and compassionately tender, while speaking searing words about sin.

He would not break a bruised reed, but he took a whip to cleanse the Temple.

Initially, thousands would gather, bringing their sick, and he would heal them, miraculously feeding those who sat for hours listening to him teach, but once they were satiated, the crowd thinned.

His family and friends thought he was crazy, insane, until their eyes were opened to see who he really was.

On the cross he came to do what only God could do: forgive sin.

He shed his blood and gave his life.

No one could do more, not even God. This was God in the flesh, one of us, but without sin.

He rose from the dead, sending trained, equipped and empowered disciples to continue his work, with the promise: “I am with you always.”

It’s not primarily about morals, ethics, a social philosophical program or preaching, it’s about God.

Do you know him? Would you like to meet him?

Once you see and know Jesus Christ, you will never be the same again.

Our loving and merciful God – here is the only one who can help us in all our various circumstances and difficult situations. Heavenly Father, as we slowly come out of all the restrictions of lockdown, give each of us the strength, courage and ability to move forward, grow, mature and serve in the name of the risen and living Lord Jesus Christ.
