A man carrying his child .

  1. On your journey through life, there will be times when you will be too weary to go on. It will be then that Christ will carry you.
  2. There will be times when you will find yourself with infirmities, wounds, disabling wounds, brokenness, and unable to go on. It is then that Christ will carry you.
  3. There are times when you will find yourself in a valley, down in the worst times of your life, and unable to raise yourself. It will be then that He will lift your hand and pull you up.
  4. There are times when you will feel alone and abandoned. It will be then that the arms of Christ will hold you and embrace you. You will not see His arms with your eyes. Only sometimes will you feel them. But they will be there, always lifting you up, always keeping you, always holding you, always carrying you on.
  5. There is one more time when a man will carry his child. And that is, when his child has died. As you close your eyes for the last time in this life, your father will once more hold you and carry you from this  world to your home, the Promised Land (Heaven), as lovingly, as a man carries his son.

Who is Jesus Christ?

Who is Jesus Christ? Who is he, really? Who did he say he was and who did others say he was?


Who did Jesus say he was?

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

John 4:25-26 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

Matt 26:63-64 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” 64 “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.


Who did God the Father, say Jesus was?

Matt 17:5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”


Who did the Holy Spirit say Jesus was?

John 15:26 “When the Advocate (the Holy Spirit) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

1 John 5:6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.


Who did the prophet Isaiah, say Jesus was?

Isa 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


Who did many of the Jews attending Passover in Jerusalem, think Jesus was?

John 2:23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.


Who did the Pharisees think Jesus was?

John 3:1-2 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”


Who did many of the Samaritans from the town of Sychar and others, believe Jesus was?

John 4:39-42 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”


Who did John the Baptist say Jesus was?

Matt 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’


Who did Jesus’ disciples say he was?

Matt 16:15-16 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

John 6:65 -69 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.” 66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

John 20:27-28 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Acts 7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

Matt 14:28-33 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”


Who does the written word (The Holy Scriptures), say Jesus is?

John 20:30-31 30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.


How did Satan, the devil, address Jesus and what was His response?

Luke 4:3-4 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone

Luke 4:9,12 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Satan knew Jesus was the Son of God. He wanted Jesus to fall for one of his temptations. Jesus’ answer to Satan’s temptations, was to quote Scripture.


Who did the demons say Jesus was?

Matt 8:28 28 When he (Jesus) arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[a] two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

Luke 4:41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.

James 5:19 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.


What have the angels done and what will they do, to show they know who Jesus is?

John 1:51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

Heb 1:3-6   The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”

Rev 7:11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God.


Who else besides the angels will worship Jesus, as God?

Rev 4:10-11 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

Rev 5:14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.


Who will all of creation say Jesus is?

Php 2:9-1 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Know God

What an odd behavior!

The more I think of it, the weirder it seems. Talk about your double standards.

When things are going well, “Thank you God for such a wonderful _______” (you fill in the blank). How amazing you are!

When things do not go the way we want, “I can’t believe God would do this to me! How could He let this happen! If He’s such a loving, caring God, why did He allow _________.” (you fill in the blank).

I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this.

When things are going our way we can’t thank God enough. When things are not going our way we can’t blame God enough. And why do you suppose that is?

I would say it is partially due to not knowing God and His ways well enough.

Isaiah 55:8For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways
,” declares the Lord.

We sometimes have this self-righteous thinking that we deserve God’s love as long as it comes without problems.

If we have a better understanding of God’s ways then we would be able to have a stronger faith in Him, knowing that, “All things work for the good for those who love the Lord. ”  This includes all the things we can’t understand even when God allows them to happen.

Having a “deeper knowledge” of God produces a “deeper faith in God.” Having a deeper faith allows us to accept whatever life throws at us, knowing that all things work for good for those who love God.

The deeper our knowledge “of” God, the deeper our faith “in” God, then, the more we will be able to give thanks to Him in all situations, Good and bad.                       Amen.
