More Blogs Exalting Jesus
Jesus is above all nations.
Good Master or God?
Find Mark 10:17-18 (KJV). People saw Jesus,
heard about Him, or read about Him, and they had their
own idea who He was. The rich man in the reference
scriptures was sure that Jesus was good.
Jesus told the man that only God is good.
Some people think Jesus was telling the man that He
(Jesus) was not God.
That is not what Jesus was saying. Note that Jesus
asked the man "Why callest thou me good?" In other
words, what is the reason for calling me good or
from what point of view do you see me as good? The
man's point of view of Jesus was that He was only a
Good Master, or a good man. The truth that Jesus was
God in human form, and more than a Good Master, escaped
the man.
If Jesus meant that no one was good, from every point
of view, He would be found to contradict the scriptures.
Search the scriptures and you will find it talks about
good people. One example starts like this: "A good
man, out of the good treasure", etc. Jesus
had a point of view that did not contradict the
scriptures. That point of view was that all people
are not good, relative to God. Jesus Himself being
God in human form and sinless, was actually saying
that He alone is good.
Jesus stands apart from all people. He is exalted
above all people. Jesus is not comparable to anyone,
no matter how good they are, because their goodness is
only good relative to others.
How do you see Jesus?

Oppression of the Just One
Many of us have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ
often. At Christmas time the songs and greetings
send out the message about a baby Jesus. The oppressed
Jesus may escape our thoughts then, because we see a
baby Jesus.
Now Easter is here and we will hear about the
crucified Jesus and the risen Jesus. All that is
well, if we really hear with our spirits, and welcome
the risen Jesus into our lives.
What we should never forget after Easter is gone is
that Jesus, the innocent or Just One , suffered
oppression at the hands of those who nailed Him to
the cross. Not just the ones who struck with the
hammer or mallet, but also the rulers who rejected
Him.
The oppression of the Just One did not take place
without you in mind. Isaiah 53:7 (KJV) used
the word oppressed long before it happened. God's
offer of salvation is for all. Christ suffered
oppression for all. He was oppressed so that you
can escape many oppressions.
Will you receive Him or will you take the side of
the oppressors? The choice is yours. Today is
your day for salvation if you hear Him speaking
to you. Don't close your ears. Trust Him and ask
Him to forgive you and give you a new spirit.
You can seek out other believers to learn more
about serving Jesus.
Have a happy Easter.
