Jesus of
Nazareth: The most amazing and beautiful story ever told, the only one which
can transform a life and the only one which can save sinners. I see this every
time I look into the Scriptures. It has been in existence before the world was
created. It has been told from generation to generation and has never lost its
flavor. It is foolishness to those who are perishing. It is God’s power to
those who are being saved.
Jesus of
Nazareth: If people could read you and
not just the story then they would find true satisfaction. Many focus on the
story but not on your person. Many are moved by the kind of love in the story,
a sacrificial kind of love; One which every man would love to participate in. Only a few see the person who gives that kind of love in the story. James bond and his love
queens cannot compare to this love because bond never dies for those women.
Romeo and Juliet both died and that was the end of the story. Cinderella found
her perfect match but she also died. However, your story, Jesus of Nazareth, leaves forever. It is
one in which you as the groom will leave happily ever after with your bride,
the Church, all those whose sins have been forgiven through faith in you. You
give them eternal life. Oh Jesus, please
help them see this by opening their eyes as you have done mine.
Jesus of
Nazareth: The most thought provoking story ever told, the only story that
reveals the one true God to mankind and the only story in which God dies to
save man. It is the only story that says, "eternal life is a free gift." Many have their thoughts provoked but
they do not believe. It is stumbling block to the Jews. It is foolishness to the gentiles.
Oh that many
would read your story with the intention of finding grace. Oh that many
servants would arise to go forth and tell this story to those who have never
heard it. Where are you soldiers of the cross? Where are you? Arise! Arise soldiers! Let's go and tell this beautiful story.
