Jesus

 I say to my daughter last night... who is your favorite bible character?.. her response? Jesus.. I was stunned into silence... how many times have we talked about or heard about a favorite bible character.. yet I have never heard someone respond with Jesus..........

Jesus is the human born son of God.. he knows no beginning and no end.. just like God.. but he was willing to come to this earth in the human form so that we could be saved by his blood and his life shed... previously to his life.. the israelites would sacrifice animals hoping to be forgiven by God of their sins... as we are all flawed and sinful.. everyone sinned and still does... but we no longer have to sacrifice anything.. Jesus paid the ultimate price.. he laid down his own life.. that we may have ours...

mary was a young girl who was a virgin.. she was engaged to be married but not yet married.. the Holy Spirit came upon her and she became pregnant.. so the Father of Jesus is God... of course there are those that don't believe this... I believe it completely.. without reservation... I have seen too many supernatural things happen for me to not believe....

Jesus had all the divinity of God.. yet all the humanity we do... he lived his life much as we do until he turned 30 years old.. then he took his ministry on the road.. showing others the love of God.. the power of God.. the ways of God.. people didn't like him even though everything he was doing was good.. he hurt no one at all... yet many despised him and came after him...

eventually they killed him... hung him on a cross on a hill called calvary... but amazingly.. as his blood was shed.. it poured out over those of us who believe in him.. and because of his sacrifice.. we who believe in him are saved.... we still die a physical death.. but our spirit are released into the kingdom of God in heaven... where we live in peace for all eternity......

of all the bible characters... he is the most important.. he is the most righteous... he is the most loved.... he is my family.... my ancestor.. my best friend.. the love of my life...  and yours too if you want him to be........
you wonder.. who wouldn't know about Jesus? yet the more I get into the 'church'... the more I find that not everyone believes he is the son of God.. or that mary was a virgin..  many many people can't wrap their head around that so they instead determine he was a prophet... nothing more...

my question to them is this: if that is the case.. then what blood is it that is saving you from your sins? what blood is being used for your sacrifice?
