The series of the Tri-Unity
reflection continues as I am privileged to testify how my faith strongly
believes that Jesus is God, The Almighty God.
There has been a lot of
misconceptions regarding the Lord Jesus Christ's persona. Some people say that
He is just an Angel sent by God above to preach and heal the sick. Some thinks
Jesus Christ is a Ghost that died and has a risen soul. Others believe that
Jesus is a Prophet.
Before I have accepted that He is
the reason of my salvation, I myself had a foolish misconception that Jesus as
the Son of God - only seconds God Almighty (The Creator) concerning all the
powers in the universe. There is a hierarchal boundary between God and Jesus'
ability in terms of reigning the world and eternal life. This belief of mine
about Jesus is totally wrong! It was true that my perspective about Jesus
Christ before is extremely shameful! Only when I came to accept Jesus as my
Redeemer, my Savior, The One Who died for my sins where truths were revealed to
me. And it is very clear to me now that Jesus Christ is God our Creator, Our
Savior, Our Almighty God.
Jesus Christ is God's Son in the
sense that He is God created in human form (John 1:1,14). It is very important
to know exactly who Jesus is in our way of life. When I say "know"
that doesn't mean intellectual knowledge but intimacy with the Lord. As soon as
I have claimed my Salvation to Jesus, my heart's attitude towards pursuing Him
becomes a natural desire of my body, my mind and my heart.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is
God. It clearly shows that Jesus Christ already existed from the very
beginning. In the fall of man in Genesis, after the major turning point in the
history of creation, Eve and Adam was tempted and sinned by Satan. God promises
something that feared Satan - Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between
you (Satan) and the woman, and between your offspring and her, He (Jesus) will
crush your head, and you will strike his heel (On the Cross, Satan bruised the
heel of Christ causing His death. This is the first promise of a Redeemer. This
is the beginning of a long line prophecy about the coming of Jesus Christ.
In John 8:24 "I told you that
you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that "I AM HE", you
will indeed die in your sins." Now as a saved person, I never once doubted
Jesus Christ divinity. Ever since the beginning, Jesus Christ already existed.
He created the world. He is our Maker, our Holy Potter. Jesus Christ is even
existing in the Old Testament. He is the "I AM" in Exodus, "God
said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites:
‘I am has sent me to you.’ ”Exodus 3:14 | NIV Jesus Christ is also there even
before Abraham was born. "Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before
Abraham was born, I am!” John 8:58 | NIV. "Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him" Psalms 34:8 | NIV" The
Lord is very wonderful, as He always work in His own majestic ways.
My love for Jesus develops everyday
when I spend my time daily on my quiet time and Bible reading. The Bible is my
manual in life. Everything about the Bible is Jesus. Knowing Jesus humbles me.
I have come to a realization that all my wrong understandings in the past
resulted a wrong character. Loving Jesus Christ automates to having Him live in
me. He translated the way I live now and it is truly amazing! I will forever
have faith that Jesus the Son of God is God. I am saved and will always be
saved by His grace.
I am praying that that everyone in
the world will be saved. I can only imagine the sweetness and perfection living
with Jesus in heaven someday.
