Jesus Christ – the express image of God
The same Bible, which told me of my sin, told me also of Jesus Christ, who claimed to be the Son of God. If Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then we may indeed be sure of salvation; but the difficulty faces us: Is Jesus Christ really the Son of God?
He could only be one of three – the Son of God, or a deceiver, or an honest man Himself under a hallucination.
But we find Him meeting some of the cleverest men of His day, who were purposely sent to catch Him in His words, and He so silenced them that they did not dare ask Him any more questions (Matthew 22:46). And when we ourselves consider the wisdom of His statements from an intellectual standpoint, we see plainly that He was under no hallucination as to Himself. Was His wisdom so great that He was using it to deceive the people?
Have you ever heard of a young man associating with swindlers and rogues and because of that association, becoming ennobled, pure and honest? No! You admit you have not heard of such a case; but I know a young man who by the reception of Christ into his life has been lifted from the basest desires to the noblest manhood. I simply cannot believe that the reception of a deceiver into one’s life could transform it for the good.
The other day I heard a man say, “I owe it to Jesus Christ that I can walk down the street with my head held erect and my shoulders squared to the world. I owe it to Him that I can look a pure woman in the face and grip an honest man by the hand.”
Words not backed with works are empty. Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. He backed that claim by working the miraculous works of God. To the unbelieving Jews, He appealed: “…though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me and I in him” (John 10:38).
Thought: The greatest of all of Jesus’ miracles is His own resurrection.
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for sending your Son Jesus Christ to die for me.
