Jesus

Jesus-

not the Jesus who's teachings were completed by the Koran, not the one who was just a fallen man who became a god and then created his own planet and then had a ton of spiritual prostitutes, not the one who was created by God and is just really important, not the one who is just a fairy tale, not the one who was just a historic figure, not the one who slept with marry and ran off with their children and we can know this because of some Famous painter's secret code,

not the Swedish one who wears a dress, not the one who is always posing for portraits, not just a name that half of the boarder hoppers claim as their own, not the one who was just a good guy, not the one who was just a crazy, not the one who was a good teacher, not the one who believes in every religion,

not the one who gives pharisees a pat on the back and beggars curse, not the one who never had a hard word for anyone, not the one who was easy to understand, not the one who wore fancy clothes and owned a fancy house and had lots of good friends who would never betray him, not the one who never suffered, not the one who was never crucified,

not the one who stayed dead, not the one who's body was stolen by his disciples after his death, not the one who was just "mostly dead" and recovered, not the one who became God, not the one who was fully man, not the one who was fully God, not the one who was only present in spirit.

I am talking about the one who rose on the third day, the one who showed himself to the Disciples again, the one who had a new and perfect body, the one who was both fully man and fully God, The one who rose up into the sky to be with the father after planting the first church, the one who is seated at The Father's right hand as I type, the one who is coming back again, the one who will show his wrath on those who have not turned to him from sin, the one who hates sins, the one who loves us sinners,

the one who died so that sinners could be brought into his joy, The one who existed from before there was time, the one who is a part of the Holy Trinity,

the one who loves me when I sin, when I fall, when I am weak, when I admit my need for grace, when I deny my need for grace, when I morn, when I rejoice (even when I should not), when I love, when I hate, when I repent, when I sleep, when I wake, when I die, when I go to be with him, when I rise from my grave, when I am given a new body to live on his new earth.

All these times he loves me. He loves me when he rebukes me for my sin, he loves me even on the dark nights when he seems to no longer be there. He is there, and he supplies our needs, he gives us faith when we are faithless, he gives us strength when we are weak, he gives us new spiritual life every day for we were all once dead. We can now go to God because at this moment he stands on believer's behalf. I can say this all for the Bible told me so...

-That Jesus
