Who is Jesus?

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6 NIV)

I once read that Abraham Lincoln, one of America's greatest presidents, described as being like everyone else, but a little taller. When I think of who is Jesus, I think He was somewhat the same. He was little taller, but not in the sense that He was taller in height. Jesus was taller in everything else. He had more love, compassion, forgiveness, faith, mercy, strength and courage than anyone else. Compared to everyone else, who is Jesus?

To artists, He is the One altogether lovely.
To architects, He is the Chief Cornerstone.
To physicians, He is the Great Physician.
To preachers, He is the Word of God.
To philosophers, He is the Wisdom of God.
To the dying, He is the Resurrection and the Life.
To geologist, He is the Rock of ages.
To farmers, He is the Lord of the harvest.
To professors, He is the Master Teacher.
To prodigals, he is the forgiving Father.
To the lost sheep, He is the Good Shepard.
To thirsty souls, He is the Water of Life.
To the hungry, He is the Bread of Life.
To philanthropists, He is God's Unspeakable Gift. (Gabhart)

 

The most important question is this; who is Jesus to you? I hope that your answer is something like "my Lord and Savior!" If not, please accept the free gift of eternal life that Jesus gave you today. The biggest mistake you can ever make would be to wait until it is too late.

Finding The Wisdom of God

How do we reveal the wisdom of God? In 1 Corinthians 2, we learn that the wisdom of God is revealed through the Holy Spirit.

... "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" the things God has prepared for those who love him — these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. (1 Cor. 2:9-10)
But, how do we reveal the wisdom of God through the Holy Spirit? Is it done only through prayer and meditation upon God's Word? Certainly, this is a great way to start, but I believe there are other things we can do as Christians to gain the wisdom of God.
As a seeker of the wisdom of God, one will pray and meditate on God's word and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit whispering words of guidance, encouragement, and inspiration for your situation.
But, another way to find the wisdom of God is through seeking Godly counsel and associating yourself with wise Christian people. I believe it is very important to share your fears and concerns with brothers and sisters in Christ that love the Lord and love you. This goes hand-in-hand with your decision to "hang-out" and make a conscious decision to associate with Christian people.
This is why fellowship with other Christians is so important. When we are out in the world working and going to school, etc. This is the time to be a "light" and an example of Christ's love to others.
However, when we are at church, this is a time to be a "sponge" and soak up the wisdom of God from other believers that understand what you are going through and love you and the Lord!
