God builds 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, Christ 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
God is omnipresent and omnipotent… in simple words He is everywhere and anywhere at the same time and in control.
God knows everything… past, present and future. His plan for us has always existed. And God’s timing is impeccable. Jesus was born at just the right time to seed Earth’s civilization.
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.
God Loves Us
You won’t find Christ in another man or woman, you’ll find Him within your own humbled heart.
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… which is not easy for us stubborn humans.
I pray for God’s “clean house” curative influence. We should all pray for earth to be like heaven. I believe that someday we will… as one.
Jesus taught us how to pray privately to a the Father… not publicly, because we tend to boast to each other in our public prayers. God hears all our thoughts. He wants a personal relationship with every single one of us.
Speak to God with your own thoughts and heart… He speaks to us from His… sometimes through creation. Many humans feel and share God’s love. God can speak through us as well as a hummingbird or an even a storm. God is perpetually teaching and loving all His children.
