PREFACE
The focus of a Christian should be the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact as Christians we bear his name, and we should carry his likeness. The apostle reminds us in Philippians to remain looking unto Jesus the Author and finisher of our faith. This article will be looking briefly at five aspects and truths of the Lord Jesus. We will view his humanity, his heritage, his character of humility, the truth of his holiness and his deity as well as the honour that the father has given him.
Scripture Reads:
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Philippians 2:6-11
"And Peter answered and said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here."
Mark 9:5
"Ye are come together not for the better, but for the worse."
1 Corinthians 11:17
* The Corinthians were having a feast, but Paul said they were come together for the worse. May we never come together with a selfish focus...for the worse.
May we always come together with our focus on the Lord...
oh how good it is for us to be THERE!
