Jesus Christ was the First. The Most. The Best. The Last. The Everything.
Scripture ransacks the human language looking for superlatives enough to give mankind some kind of idea who this Person was who was born of a virgin, lived without sin, taught us of Heaven, and died in our place. His resurrection and ascension forever secured His place in the history and thought and conversation of this small planet.
Earth has never seen another like Him. He is unique.
Christianity and the Christian life are all about Jesus.
Regardless of what they tell you, the Christian faith is not about love.
It’s not about morals and doing good.
The Christian faith is not about helping one another and be ye kind and see you in church.
Love and morals and doing good, helping one another and showing kindness and attending worship are the byproducts of the Christian faith when done right.
But the Christian faith itself is all about one Person and One Person Only: The Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the only Savior. He is the only sin-offering. He is the one and only mediator between God and man. He alone reveals God the Father to us. His is the only Name by which we must be saved.
Jesus. It’s all about Jesus.
The disciples said to Jesus, “Show us the Father and that’ll be enough for us!” He answered, “Have I been so long with you and you still don’t know who I am?” He paused for effect and said, “He who has seen me has seen the Father.” (That’s John 14:8-9.)
