The Person of Jesus

Its so beautiful the works that Jesus did for the world; the transformation he has brought to humanity.

Hebrews 7:26  says - For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.
One of the things thats amazing about Jesus are the words used to describe his person.  The quality of a thing most times is determined by who presents it. The person qualifies the gift. Jesus is described as  holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens. 

What does Holy mean?
Holy means dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.
The Hebrew word for holy is “qodesh” and means “apartness, set-apartness, separateness, sacredness” 

What does harmless mean?
Harmless - without the power or desire to do harm;innocuous:    unable or unlikely to hurt anyone or cause damage
Something that is harmless does not have any bad effects, especially on people's health.

 What does undefiled mean?
Undefiled - free from stain or blemish;
having no faults; sinless;not polluted or made dirty



Now, this high priest, which is Jesus, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and higher than the heaven actually became us, took our place before God. And so, I present before God, you present before God as holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and higher than the heavens.  
Glory To God

Hebrews 7:19  For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Jesus is the better hope that makes all things perfect. And so, by Jesus, we, by ourselves, not needing anyone to go on our behalf, can go before God. And not just go before him, but build a relationship with him. Such that he is accessible at all times; this is exactly what the law could not achieve:Relationship. What is perfect is that anyone can have a relationship with God.

This direct relationship,that Jesus has afforded humanity, is the ONLY valid and legit means through which ANYONE can draw near to God.
Simply because he made the perfect sacrifice.

God bless you.

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

Lesson One: Knowing 'your' God

There are 7.4 billion people on earth. Findings say adults make 35,000 decisions daily while babies make 3000 decisions(you didn't know that,did you?). About 3.2 billion fall within the age range of 15-44years of age. Very few things bring life and excitement or enthusiasm like a new idea you think is so great. It could almost take all your attention and mind.You can almost have an 'action rush' , as you would go all the way out just to get your idea to come into reality. Note that an action rush is different from a 'steady build '. Like any other great thing in life, challenges,especially unprecedented will arise (many of them disrupting your plan!) I came to realize that nothing beats a person who not just has an idea but knows God. I got to this point in 2015 where I just had to settle to really find my God and grow my faith. What exactly does it mean to know God? Knowing God is like enlarging your understanding of God and establishing a personal strong be...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...
