God built a teacher ❤️
he was already here
inside every child’s heart
waiting beyond the fear
for the angst to part
and the hate to clear
so that a new start
can be kept near
From a strictly human vantage point, Jesus was illegitimate and would have been born out of wedlock were it not for Joseph, the carpenter. Jesus had a purposeful rough entrance and sad exit.
…he was born to reach us
and grown to teach us
…died in our “place”
and lives in our heart…
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for [some] evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.
Finally two came forward and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ”
Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 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.”
“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.” Matthew 26:59-64 NIV
Jesus was a mortal messenger of how to love. Jesus’s death was tragic. Why did He have to die at such a young age? The answer is found in the Bible. The answer is found here on earth.
The Devil works at gaining an immoral stronghold on us. We get the idea we are god from narcissistic thinking. The Sanhedrin thought they were in charge. They thought they were speaking for God. In a sense, they were… but through Satan, God’s “dirty work” angel.
Jesus was crucified because he threatened religious authority.
God Loves Us Anyway
God’s plan is for us to learn from Jesus… his lesson is to practice unconditional love.
I can only imagine the pain that Jesus went through… His love for us, shadowed by our selfish greed, yet in love… he died for those who killed him. There’s no greater love than to sacrifice for another.
Jesus’s Purpose
Intending to protect their religious power, evil acting men killed Jesus.
Through Jesus, God basically took a bullet for all of us. He takes a bullet for every hateful death. God loves us.
The most essential and pertinent aspect of our mortal human life is God’s healing power inherent in surrendering to His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Someday Earth will be as One.
