Know Jesus
We have to spread the truth about Jesus. How he suffered for our sins, how he died for us, was buried and obtains resurrection. We should know him too as the Christ that was born according to the law yet at the same time the Jesus that was manifested in flesh though he is God.
He was born like unto us who was tempted yet did not succumb to it; he thirsted; felt pain; slept; wept; a hungered; sweat; was bruised and died. He prayed yet answers prayer; though man, he stills the storm; multiplied bread and fishes; raised the dead; cleansed the lepers; set free the captives; open the eyes of the blind; made the mute sing.
He was born of the Holy Ghost; was completely human yet absolutely divine; is the image of the invisible God where in him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; was God manifest in flesh where in him dwelt the spirit of the Father; he was Lord while at the same time God; and a Son given while a Father that lay down his life.
He says, I am He, the Holy One of Israel; is one with the Father (where whoever sees him sees the Father); he breathes the Holy Ghost; is first and the last, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending; buried in baptism where there is much water that is in Jordan yet baptizes with the Holy Ghost; and was resurrected of the Father.
He was in the wilderness as he freed the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt; fed them with manna, which is the food, which they know not, neither their fathers knew; make fountains in high places; his nature in the cloud while revealed as Christ in the New Testament; and is a God in flaming fire taking vengeance upon them that know not God.
He was disguised as the angel that broke the hollow of the thigh of Jacob; was the fire in the burning bush; shut off the mouth of the lions and spared Daniel; freed Abraham from the worship of idols; is the door and a good Shepherd; the Bread of Life; gives the light of Life; is Prince of peace; the vine; and the wonderful, the counselor.
He was the child born; a Son given while the mighty God and Everlasting Father; he has a kingdom, which they knew not, neither the princes of this world knew for had they known it they would not have killed the Lord of Glory. He was human yet knew not sin, while he is Lord and God as Thomas said, to whom Stephen entrusted his spirit.
He said all that labor and are heavily laden should come unto him; he manifested his name unto the men, which the Father gave him; desired to speak plainly of the Father; said to Satan not to tempt the Lord his God of which the devils also believe in One God, and tremble; and at his temptation as the devil left, angels came and ministered unto him.
He taught us his ways even way back to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; his vineyard as the Lord of host is the house of Israel; he came forth as a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch; He is the JEHOVAH, our strength and our song; and he shall sit upon the throne in truth in the tabernacle of David.
