Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I am glad to be talking with you. I was thinking about the emotion evoking commercials that I have seen entitled “Jesus Gets Us.” This actually means so much more than only what is depicted in the commercials. Let’s take a look at this together.
Dear LORD God Almighty, we love You. We are so thankful that we have You to share this journey of life with. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit and Your Holy WORD the Bible to lead us and guide us into Your TRUTH. Thank You that You gave Your Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to leave heaven and come to earth, born as a baby, live as a Man Who was tempted in every way that we are, yet He never sinned. All the while He was totally God Incarnate. Lived the Perfect Life sharing His Perfect Love and God’s Perfect TRUTH with everyone. He was persecuted, tortured and Crucified to take away our sins yet He had no sin. Please call all of Your people unto You for salvation, to repent of our sins and to accept Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior. We thank You in advance LORD. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
This was God’s perfect plan before the foundation of the world, because “He get’s us.” God the Father, God the Son, Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit=One God, is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. Everywhere at once, All Powerful, and All Knowing. God already knew that Jesus was going to be the Lamb Who was slain before the foundation of the world. He knew this before He created Adam and Eve in His Own Image/(Our Image, God says=God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit.) God knew before He created Adam and Eve that they were going to sin and rebel against Him in-spite of the perfect, intimate relationship, love and provision that He bestowed upon them. This is why Jesus was Sacrificed for us.
REVELATION 13:8 ALL WHO DWELL UPON THE EARTH WILL WORSHIP him, (satan), WHOSE NAMES HAVE NOT BEEN WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. (JESUS) nkjv
GENESIS 1:26, 27 THEN GOD SAID, “LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS…SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE: IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED HIM; MALE AND FEMALE.”
PHILIPPIANS 2:5-8 THINK OF YOURSELVES THE WAY CHRIST JESUS THOUGHT OF HIMSELF. HE HAD EQUAL STATUS WITH GOD BUT DIDN’T THINK SO MUCH OF HIMSELF THAT HE HAD TO CLING TO THE ADVANTAGES OF THAT STATUS NO MATTER WHAT. NOT AT ALL. WHEN THE TIME CAME, HE SET ASIDE THE PRIVELEGES OF DEITY AND TOOK ON THE STATUS OF A SLAVE, BECAME HUMAN! HAVING BECOME HUMAN, HE STAYED HUMAN. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY HUMBLING PROCESS. HE DIDN’T CLAIM SPECIAL PRIVILEGES. INSTEAD, HE LIVED A SELFLESS, OBEDIENT LIFE AND THEN DIED A SELFLESS, OBEDIENT DEATH AND THE WORST KIND OF DEATH AT THAT-A CRUCIFIXION. message Bible
Jesus was crucified because this was the reason that He was born into this world as 100% Human and 100% God; was to die for us. Jesus intentionally gave up His Life for You, for me, for us. Yes, Jesus most definitely gets us. God intentionally gave up His Son for us because He so loved the world.
JOHN 3:16, 17 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DIE FOR US SO THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES UPON HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT IN ORDER THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED THROUGH HIM.
Many people love to quote this Scripture. I love this Scripture. We should not stop here though. Let’s read on in the same chapter of the Bible. We need to read Scripture in the context of what is taking place at the time that the Scripture is written, and in the Scripture, and read the complete Scripture that captures the entire narrative of what God is saying to us.
JOHN 3:18-21 WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY SON OF GOD. AND THIS IS THE JUDGMENT: THE LIGHT, (JESUS), HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, AND THE PEOPLE LOVED THE DARKNESS RATHER THAN THE LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. FOR EVERYONE WHO DOES WICKED THINGS HATES THE LIGHT LEST HIS WORKS SHOULD BE EXPOSED. BUT WHOEVER DOES WHAT IS TRUE COMES TO THE LIGHT, SO THAT IT MAY BE CLEARLY SEEN THAT HIS WORKS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT IN GOD.
So yes, we can see here that “Jesus Gets Us” so much so that He is telling us in His WORD that whoever does not believe in Him is condemned already. Jesus also tells us that the reason that someone would not want to come to Him is because their deeds are evil and wicked and they love it and they want to continue doing their evil, wicked deeds rather than repenting and giving their lives completely to Jesus as LORD and Savior.
JOHN 14:6 JESUS SAID TO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AND NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.
I think we can see that there is a lot more than just “Jesus gets us”. Jesus wants to change us from the inside out. He wants to change our hearts. He wants us to repent from our sins and turn to Him. To give our lives to Him so He can change them to be the lives that He created us to live with the gifts that He prepared for us before He even created us so that we can use them to help others. He wants us to live this life in intimate fellowship with Him. He wants us to spend eternity with Him in Heaven instead of hell. He has done everything possible to make this happen. Please now do your part, give your life to Jesus. You will never regret it, I promise.
JOHN 14:15, 16 IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL OBEY MY COMMANDMENTS. I WILL ASK THE FATHER AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER HELPER, (THE HOLY SPIRIT), WHO WILL STAY WITH YOU FOREVER. HE IS THE SPIRIT, WHO REVEALS THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD. THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE HIM, BECAUSE IT CANNOT SEE HIM OR KNOW HIM. BUT YOU KNOW HIM, BECAUSE HE REMAINS WITH YOU AND IS IN YOU.
This is what I pray for you all and all of your generations. Until we get to speak again please know that I love you and am praying for you. Most importantly, Jesus loved you.
