The bottom line is…Who is Jesus? It takes sixty-six Books within the Bible to describe Who Jesus is. Creator, Redeemer, Savior, Friend, King of Kings, LORD of LORDS. He is the foundation for truth, so He is right. As Creator God makes the rules. From the description of Jesus described in the Bible you will come to know what is right. Begin with “For all the law is fulfilled in one word…you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
I personally come to conclusions and look at the world, the
culture, my fellow human beings through a pursuit of Scripture, the Bible. This is how I seriously intend to make my
deductions. There is good; there is evil
in the world. Knowing the difference is
one serious pursuit of my life.
Conclusions about every issue pervasive in America will be after I have
searched them out from my continuing study of the Bible. It is that
simple.
That is just the beginning.
Yes, God created the mosquitoes, the flies, the annoying
parts of creation, the amazing power in creation: volcanoes, hurricanes,
tornados. If we think it through, this
is scary stuff. But if we think that
through, it demonstrates His power. The
sad things happened when Adam and Eve rebelled and ate of the Tree of Good and
Evil which God commanded them not to eat.
If we have a “picture” of Jesus in our heads, but it is not
the same Jesus who is described in the sixty-six Books of the Bible, it is not
Jesus described in John 1:14. “And
the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
How does one “imagine”
the greatness of Almighty God Who is All Power, All Knowing and Everywhere
Present. That is the God, Jesus, who
keeps your heart beating, “He
stretches out the north over the empty place, and
He hung the earth on nothing.” (Job 26:7) And
rather surprisingly simply says “He made the stars also” (Genesis 1:16)
Am I right? There is quiet confidence in my soul that God is
“definitely right”. My pursuit of life
at seventy-eight years is perspective.
All the mistakes, the regrets and the sins bring me to huge gratitude,
because I am growing to know Jesus more every day: He loves me.
