The man called Jesus

He was despised and rejected--a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care.
Who is this man? His name is Jesus. 
The man was called Jesus. 

I know we have heard about this great man and we will continue to hear about Him because He lives forever. 

This great man is the son of God.  He was sent forth to bear the iniquity of men. 
He is the one whose birth and death were spoken about by the prophets.  Behold, He is the Lamb of God.


After the fall of man in the garden of Eden, there was a need to bring men to God. There was a need to restore the relationship and communication that once existed between God and men.  
How can this be done? A man needs to shed His blood to cleanse the sin of men because without the shedding of blood, there can't be remission of sin Heb 9:22b and it has to be blood as of a lamb without blemish and spot.

For this to happen, The man called Jesus was given birth too and the prophecies of the prophets? It came into manifestation.
His heart was filled with compassion while on earth as men were like sheep without shepherds. 
Despite his teachings and miracles, men still turned deaf ears to his sayings. He gathered some as his disciples, His time was up and He was crucified on the cross. His father could not hear His cry as the sin of men was upon Him. 
He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. 
Will you allow Him to go through all these in vain?
He gave up His life and resurrected it on the third day. He is the great man called Jesus. 

He is the man that has assured us that whenever we call upon His name, He shall answer us. He is the one who has told us to cast our care upon Him because He cares for us. He again, as asked those that are heavy ladened to come to him, that he will give them rest. 
Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your soul, so says the man Jesus.

I love the man, called Jesus.

Cast all your cares upon Him

Image
1Pet. 5:7, Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. - AMP. Why worry when you have The ONE who can take care of all your needs? God has always shown us and told us that HE is our father and HE called us HIS son. One of the responsibilities of a responsible father is to cater to the need of his children while it is the responsibility of the child to trust his father and take all his care (needs) to him. Apostle Peter shows us a dimension of GOD as the one that takes care of His people. Cares which is interpreted as anxiety or worry.  Anxiety means an overwhelming sense of apprehension and fears often marked by physical signs (such as tension, sweating, and increased pulse rate), doubt concerning the reality and nature of the threat, and self-doubt about one's capacity to cope with it (Merriam Webster dictionary.) Anxiety will alway...

Christ's Ambassador

An ambassador is simply known as an official messenger and representative of a country in a foreign country.  An Ambassador is given freedom in a foreign country. They are highly respected to perform activities especially in protecting the interest of their country in the foreign country.  Christians are known to be the ambassador of Christ in this world in which we have been commissioned to present and protect the interest of our country. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation .”  This is the great task committed to us by our country leader Jesus Christ to bring unto his kingdom the people of the world and we cannot afford to ignore this assignment. An ambassador representing his country in a foreign country will never forget his primary assignment in that country so also we must not forget our primary assignment. The...

Acknowledging God; a means of getting direction

To acknowledge has various definition. Some of them are listed below 1. Admitting the knowledge of something or someone; recognizing it as a fact or truth; declaring one's belief in something or someone. 2. To be grateful of. But for this article, we would be looking at acknowledging as expressing recognition of the rights, efforts or authority of someone. What does it mean to direct? In simple terms: point out or show (to somebody) the right course or way; to guide, as by pointing out the way. You might be wondering, how do the definitions listed above relate with the topic? What significance do they have with the topic being explained? For better understanding, we go back to a verse in the Bible. Proverbs 3vs6: in all your ways acknowledge Him (God), and He (God) will make your paths straight . From the passage, we are made to understand that directions come when we acknowledge God. We will be shown the right path to walk in when we recognise the authority of God upon our lives. ...
