Day 21: Perfectly Perfect
JESUS sounds like a Fictional Character because
HE is too PERFECT.
PERFECTLY HUMBLE~
"Who, being in very nature GOD,
Did not consider equality with GOD something to be grasped,
but made HIMSELF nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness" (Philippians 2:6-7)
PERFECTLY OBEDIENT~
"HE humbled himself by becoming obedient to death ~ even death on a cross!“ (Philippians 2:8)
PERFECTLY SINLESS~
“... but we have one who has been tempted in every way,
just as we are—yet was without sin...” (Hebrews 4:15)
PERFECTLY REJECTED~
"HE committed no sin and
no deceit was found in HIS mouth.
When they hurled their insults at HIM, HE did not retaliate;
when HE suffered, HE made no threats. Instead,
HE entrusted himself to HIM who judges justly" (I Peter 2:23)
Just to
PERFECTLY SUFFER~
"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Matthew 26:37-38)
This Character
JESUS
Did it PERFECTLY anyway~
"Because of the joy awaiting HIM, HE endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now HE is seated in the place of honor beside GOD'S throne" (Hebrews 12:2)

HOPE
back
into
a
PERFECTLY
Hopeless Helpless World~
Do you lose hope when you are rejected, in pain, crucified?
Do you lose hope when you are growing weary doing good?
Do you lose hope when everything around you comes tumbling down?
Do you lose hope when you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel?
Do you lose hope when you can’t feel GOD?
Do you lose hope when you seek the LORD first, and still can’t find HIIM?
Because JESUS isn't a Fictional Character
HE is too PERFECT to not BELIEVE HE is true~
"Consider HIM who endured such opposition from sinful men,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" (Hebrews 12:30).
REAL LIFE. REAL STORY. REAL GOD.
Oh
to be so PERFECT is impossible,
yet to BELIEVE in SOMEONE so PERFECT
is quite easy~
