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.

Faithfulness

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...

My Beloved

If you would let me walk through the corners of your heart   I will take the thorns away with anesthesia enough to take you through I will shine my light in the path for your eyes to see and your feet to walk I will wrap you round in the warmth of my embrace From the cold that gives you frost bite in the feet and a chest pain even on a warm day I know you let some love in the left you broken And now it’s difficult to catch the pieces that remain because your strength is gone I see it all in your eyes, Even though you try to make it seem like you have it all together You have been bought with a prize I took all the brakes in my heart to see you whole I got striped and left in the cold so you could find warmth in me (would be hid in me and stay warm) I’m not about to let you go through all that trauma (again). I did it already, for you, for all So that when you pass through the rivers, you will have me around When you pass though waters, it ...

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...
