We applaud MEN for doing good things. We enshrine GOD for doing great things. But what about a MAN who does GOD things?
Don’t we need a God-man Savior? After all, a just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus?
So, which is it? Is Jesus holy or is he human? According to the Bible Jesus was - and is - both. Fully God and fully man.
Jesus was not a godlike man, nor a manlike God. He was God-man. Midwifed by a carpenter…bathed by a peasant girl…the maker of the world with a bellybutton…heaven’s human. And because he was, we are left with scratch-your-head, double-blink, what’s wrong-with-this-picture moments like: a sack lunch satisfying five thousand tummies..a cripple sponsoring the town dance, and most of all, a grave: guarded by soldiers, sealed by a rock, yet vacated by a three-days-dead man. What do we do with such moments? What do we do with such a person? One thing is certain, we can’t ignore the single most significant person who ever lived.
In fact, the Christ of your galaxies is the Christ of your Mondays. The Starmaker manages your travel schedule. Relax. You have a friend in high places.
The Commander in Chief of the universe knows your name. There is no place he won’t go to find you. For even though he is in heaven, he never left the neighborhood.
He is Jesus, our next door Savior.
