We hear a great deal about “Christ” in our day. But the “Christ” of whom many speak is not the real Christ. Their "Christ" is not the true Christ,who is the Incarnate Word. Their "Christ" is not the historical Christ who lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death, and rose in supernatural splendor. Travel with me back through time and listen as the angelsare heralding the eternal Word of God, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
"He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,” (Revelation 13:8).
He is the Alpha and Omega! He is the Beginning and the Ending!
He is the Seed of the Woman who would bruise the head of rebellious Satan, onetime archangel, now Prince of Darkness (Genesis 3:15).
He is the Seed of Abraham, the Seed of Isaac, the Seed of Jacob (Genesis 15:8; Galatians 3:16).
Observe His kindly demeanor and gentle love, and be assured that He is meek and lowly in heart, and that in Him you can find rest for your soul.
Watch Him as in righteous indignation He drives the mercenary moneychangers from the temple, fire in His eyes and a whip in His hand.
Then gaze upon Him hanging on the cross, dying for you. Know that He is the Good Shepherd who giveth his life for the sheep.
He is "the Stone which the builders rejected who has become the Head of the Corner." He is the King of Israel. He is the Bread of Life. He is the Light of the World. He is the True Vine. He is the Resurrection and the Life. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
You cannot erase Him from history. He is the supreme Word,who can never be silenced.
You cannot drown Him, for He will walk on the waters.
You cannot stone Him, for He will pass unharmed through His attackers.
You may call Him a liar, but He will always be the Truth.
You may force Him to the cross, but He can defeat His enemies with a powerful "I Am."
You may try to crush Him as a flower, but He is the Rose of Sharon, and the sweet fragrance of His death will be an aroma of life unto life and salvation.
You may even try to kill Him, but He will rise up from the grave.
He is the Lord of Glory, the King of Saints, the Mediator between God and man, the Mystery of Godliness, the Author and Finisher of our faith. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high, henceforth expecting until His enemies are made His footstool. (Colossians 1:17-19).
He is the Prophet, the Priest, and the King. He is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach. He is the Lamb slain. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah who prevails (Revelation 5:5). He prevailed over sin on Calvary. He prevailed over Satan. He prevailed over death, hell and the grave: "I am Alpha and Omega ... the first and the last: I am he that liveth and was dead, and, behold, I am alive for evermore... and have the keys of hell and of death" (Revelation 1:8,17,18). He is the root and offspring of David and the bright and morning star. He is the Christ, the anointed one of God, prophesied in the Old Testament, alive on this earth for 33 years to fulfill His destiny, and who is perfect God and perfect man. He is our Savior, our Lord, our King, our God, our Master, our all. He is the King of Kings now and forever. He is the Lord of Lords through all the ages. He is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
