This Man Called Jesus
By: Robert A. Searles
This man called Jesus, the good shepherd, the divine son of God, our
Savior and our Lord! To him belongs all honor and glory, and majesty,
and all men and women, boys and girls, and young people ought to humble
themselves in his mighty presence, and acknowledge him as the only way
to God the Father, and the only way to eternal everlasting life.
All who have gone before him are thieves and robbers, and all who may
come after him are imposters. Blessed be the name of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
“Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved.” Acts 4: 12
“Wherefore God also hath highly
exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name; that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God The
Father.” Philippians 2: 9-11
He came into the world to
rescue the lost and to bring them safely home to God the Father, even as
a good shepherd goes into the wilderness to search for the lost sheep
and finding it, brings it safely back to the fold.
This man called Jesus is Christ the Lord, the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
“He
was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we
are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all.” Isaiah 53: 5-6
Obedient to God the Father in every
aspect of his life, setting the example for us who have been rescued,
to follow in his steps that we might grow into his image and someday in
heaven, reach the ideal to be as he is. He has given unto us who have
received him by faith, eternal life, and we shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck us out of his hand.
He and the Father are one, and he has so reconciled us to God, that we are also one with the Father through him.
Thanks
be to God our Father for his unspeakable gift of his son, the Lord
Jesus Christ to be our Savior, our Lord and our shepherd. This man
called Jesus who is God incarnate.
