Three Important Things

October 29
Three Important Things by Roy Lessin


There are three important things that set Jesus Christ apart from anyone who has ever lived on earth. First is who He is. The second is what He did. The third is what He said.

Who He is:
Jesus Christ is the eternal Word who became flesh...And the Word became 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.

John 1:14.  He is God who became a man.  He is not a man who became God.  Jesus did not come from the earth, He came to the earth from heaven.

No one else can make this claim.

What He did:
Jesus did so many miraculous things while He lived upon the earth that the apostle John tells us, “Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.” John 21:25.

What is even more amazing is that Jesus was the creator of the earth that He walked upon…”For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16.

"And without Him was not anything made that was made."  John 1:3

No one else can make this claim.

What God said:
In Mark 9:7 God speaks these words, “…This is my beloved Son: hear Him.”  Today, many voices want to be heard—they speak through social media, film, books, podiums, public squares, the halls of government, and the chambers of justice.

Daily we hear the cries of culture demanding change and conformity to its will.  But there is another voice, a greater voice, a true voice, a righteous voice, a wise voice, a voice of light, a voice of love, a voice life.  Jesus Christ is the voice above all other voices, and He is the name above all other names.

No one else can make this claim.
