When I have thought about the Easter post I want to make this year, my main desire is to lift up Jesus. Jesus said in John 12:32, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."  He was talking about the death He would die, but I also know it is true, if we as believers will lift up Jesus to the world - He will draw them to Himself.

So I thought of what all I could say to lift up Jesus to anyone who comes by and reads this post. The more I thought, the less capable I felt. Words fail me to tell you just how great the Lord Jesus Christ is.  All I can do is weep when I think on just how great, mighty, awesome He is.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is God - He has always been and will always be - because He is fully 100% God. He knows everything - past, present and future. He is the Creator. John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2 The same was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Jesus is God in the flesh -Jesus laid aside the glory He had in Heaven and took on the flesh a man. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus is God in the flesh born to die -Jesus knew when He came He was coming to die. Philippians 2:7-8 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Jesus is God in the flesh born to die for us - Us, is each individual sinner, it is You and ME! It is we, who were under the sentence of death, because the wages of sin is death (Rom.6:23a)Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Jesus is the one who died, was buried and physically arose again from the dead - Jesus did this for us. He took our punishment on the cross, shed His blood to cleanse our sin, died, was buried and arose again in victory.

Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Jesus is the ONLY one who can save you and me. -Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This is who Jesus is according to the Word of God.

Who is Jesus to you?

To me:

He is my Lord -Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

He is my Saviour -Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

He is my Best Friend -John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus wants to be your Lord, Saviour and Best Friend. Will you let Him?
