Who Jesus is and is not.
28 Sep '19 09:32Jesus is not as some here portray Him, a dead guy who taught a lot of good things, or some cookie-cutter harmless love ball without a mean unbroken bone in His body. Yes, He is the Word of God made flesh and is love, but He is also good, righteousness, just, holy, and not someone to ignore at our peril.
The thing about God He created the universe for Himself and we in it, we were made to in His image. The earth is His, and everything in it is His, and He is before all things, preeminent in all actions and status. Our salvation is due to the self-sacrifice of God, the ultimate display of love towards us.
When the level of love required is so high, we cannot do it ourselves, the fact we can call someone a fool puts us in danger of Hell. What type of people are we that we act so blatantly evil towards God and one another that we think and consider it normal, will the creator of the universe let this pass or charge us for all we do?
Revelation 20
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Hosea 4 English Standard Version (ESV)
Hear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel, for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and no knowledge of God in the land; there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and even the fish of the sea are taken away.
