Thank you! If you don't mind asking, what is your favorite thing about Jesus from the New Testament?
That's another good question👍.
Obviously that he is our saviour (Mark 10:45) and that he came to seek the lost, not just seek but save them (Luke 19:10). For he seen the people where like sheep without a shephard (Mark 6:34) for Jesus himself is the good shephard (psalm 23; John 10:11-18).
So when Jesus says :
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life (John 6:47)
I respond in prayerful faith like the father of the demon psossed child:
I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24).
He's my Saviour,
He's my good Shephard,
He's my bread of life that sustains,guides and satisfies me (John 6:35).
He is the Word that brings life (John 1).
Anyhow he is my all in all (Colossians 3:10).
But my favourite thing is that Jesus being God - took on flesh, lived a sinless life (1 Peter 2:22), bore my sins on the cross (being a curse unto the law) (Galatians 3:13).
Through his obedience, life, death and resurrection I by faith in his grace am reconciled to God, like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11; 2 Corinthians 5:18).
Or like this.
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
(from the hymn 'In Christ Alone')
