This website was created to glorify God through the words of
Jesus Christ. It
is our prayer that you will be enlightened, encouraged and blessed as
you read Jesus'
words about
life issues such as love, marriage, death, faith, wealth, healing,
eternal life, discipleship, war and much more. Additionally, we will
also look at Jesus'
early life
and His
ministry Jesus' words are
of utmost significance because He is one with God; Jesus said in -John
10:30
"I
have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave
Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know
that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak,
just as the Father has told Me, so I speak"-John 12:49-50.
Who
is Jesus?
It
is
fairly common to hear individuals say that they know about Jesus
Christ – and this may indeed be true. But, when pressed further
for what Jesus says about spiritual matters and life issues, it
becomes evident that they know of Him but they don’t know what he
says. Many are sincere when they say “I believe in God”.
But they may also openly deny or subtly ignore the reality of Jesus
Christ. Yet, the bible, and historical records clearly document the
existence of Jesus Christ. Many prophecies, testimonies and accounts
in the bible all attest to the existence of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. One notable record is found in Luke 1:35 where an angel
announces to Mary that she has been chosen to be the mother of Jesus
Christ – “And
the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come
upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;
therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the
Son of God’” Another
significant scripture is Matthew 3:17, where God revealed Jesus’
identity to the world - "And
suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Even the demons knew that Jesus is the Son of God - Mark 3:11 “And
the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and
cried out, saying, ‘You are the Son of God."
As
we read about Jesus’ divine mission in the gospels,
there emerges four main reasons why He came to earth. First, it was
to redeem us from the death sentence of sin and give us eternal life
- John 3:16 “For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that
whosoever believes on Him will have everlasting life.”
Secondly, it was to reconcile us to God-
"For
God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that
the world might be saved through him"-
John 3:17. Thirdly, it
was to reveal the character and nature of God to us -"Do
you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The
words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but
the Father who dwells in Me does the works."
John 14:10. And
fourthly, it was to teach us how to love God and show love for each
other - So
he answered and said, 'You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your
soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your
neighbor as yourself.' “
Luke 10:27.
The
words of Jesus endure
forever- He says “Heaven
and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
Mark 13:31. Therefore, we do not have to wonder “what
would Jesus say?” or “what
would Jesus do?” The
answers are found in the recorded scriptural text throughout the
bible and especially the New Testament. It is because of Jesus'
sacrificial death that we are redeemed from sin, and receive
the gift of eternal life. On earth, Jesus lived the perfect example
of how we must love and serve God.
His lifestyle provided the blueprint for living the abundant life in obedience
to God’s commands. His purpose was always to convey spiritual truths to our
spirits. Jesus’ words minister to our hearts with salvation; to sick
bodies with divine healing; to troubled minds with peace; and to our needs with
provision. But ultimately, every word spoken by Jesus
in sermons, parables and teachings validates God's promises, laws and commands.
A
Prayer to accept Jesus as Savior
Heavenly
Father, I come to you in repentance for my sins. Please forgive me.
I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son and He died for my
sins. I now receive Him as my Lord and Savior. By faith I
accept your forgiveness and your love for me. I receive your peace
into my spirit and I am now a child of God. In Jesus name: Amen
