ALL THAT JESUS IS ABOUT

ALL THAT JESUS IS ABOUT

by M.G. Bueno

Joh 3:1  There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 

Joh 3:2  The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 

Joh 3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

Joh 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 

Jesus Christ is all about saving, and healing and blessing and grace and mercy, though all judgement was given unto Jesus by God the Father.  It says in,

Joh 5:22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 

The power to judge is given by the Father to His Son Jesus Christ.  No, it is not given to us nor to anyone other than Jesus Christ.  The Bible has established this fact that we ought not to judge anyone.  Jesus is the only rightful judge of the universe.

There's only one that the bible told us to judge.  It tells us in, 

1Co 11:31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

Now we have established the fact that Jesus is the only judge above all, yet the scripture tells us that he relinquished this power to judge at the time when he has all the right to do so.

In JOHN 12:47 I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

And again in,

Luk 9:56  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. 

Luk 19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 

Joh 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Mat 1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 

In the book of Luke chapter 2, an angel a messenger from God, heralded the birth of Jesus Christ to a few shepherds.

Luk 2:11  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 

Luk 2:12  And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 

Luk 2:13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 

Luk 2:14  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 

What the angels were saying is that in Jesus there is Glory toward God, in Jesus there is peace, and in Jesus there is goodwill to all men. 

It is God intention for you to have peace in your life thru His Son Jesus Christ.  Because without Jesus Christ there is no peace.  Without Jesus Christ there is no salvation from sin.  Without Jesus Christ there’s no eternal life.

In Jesus Christ God wanted all men to be reconciled back unto him.  The main theme of the story of Jesus coming to the world, is not about the judgement or condemnation of man, but about the reconciliation of man back to the one and only God.  The theme of the Bible is the Redemption of man from the death sentence of sin.  Because God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  

Sometimes the scriptures seem to contradict when the angel heralded peace and goodwill toward men at the birth of Jesus, which is His coming to this world.  Jesus said in,

Luk 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 

Luk 12:52  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 

Luk 12:53  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 

Here it seem to contradict the very purpose of Jesus to reconcile man back to God, and for man to be at peace with God.  Because he said, I did not come to bring peace to the world.  Why is this? It is  because of man’s unbelief and rebellion, that what God meant for peace and reconciliation became a division, because man doesn’t want to receive God.  The Bible said,

He came to his own but his own received him not.  The Jews thought that Jesus was crazy, an impostor who was claiming to be the Son of God, the Messiah.

Joh 7:43  So there was a division among the people because of him. 

Joh 9:16  Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

The division was not caused by Jesus Christ, but by the unbelieving.

Families are divided because not all members of the family agree whom they’re going to serve.  But it doesn’t matter which God mother or father serve, we should serve the one and only true God thru the LORD Jesus Christ.  

There’s a drawing power tonight of the love of God.  The love of God for the whole world is so amazing, it cannot be explained by the most articulate person in the whole world.  

And this same love disposition of Jesus Christ attracted Nicodemus, a man who was a religious leader of his time, and to meet the master himself was his best route.    Nicodemus decided, “I must see Jesus, myself.”  

You see, our life in God is being read like a book by people around us daily.  How our lives differ from others and from the norms of this world, a life which would make the people of this world anxious to see, what makes us blessed, what makes us above the rest though not by our own power but in the power of God, what makes us go on thru many obstacles in this life and still have hope to the end.  

God had set us up on a stage so to speak for people to see, that in God nothing is impossible, that in God there is hope for everyone who comes to Jesus Christ, that sin can be conquered, that we can live a righteous and a holy life in Christ Jesus.  And so the life of Jesus became a wonder to the eyes of people, and Nicodemus was anxiously drawn by it.  And he wanted to know, what makes Jesus the way that he is.  

And Nicodemus heard the greatest message that would later echo thru the ages.  Jesus told Nicodemus, “You must be born again.”  Tonight, this is the only way to get rid of the sin problem in your life. It is to be born again of the Spirit of God.  That is to be born again to a new you by the Spirit of God.  

The Bible said, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things pass away, behold all things are become new.”  

Christ in your life, is to cleanse you from the guilt of sin, and allowing him to guide your life in the paths of God’s righteousness.  

God doesn’t want anyone to go to hell and to the lake of fire.  But it is sad to say that everyday, people end up in the fires of hell, not because God send them their, but they themselves.  People have chosen sin, and the wages of sin is eternal separation from God and eternal death in the lake of fire.  The bible said that the everalasting fire was prepared by God for the devil and his messengers.  

People listen to the voice of the devil, but what they don’t know is that the devil wants them destroyed in the lake of fire.  The devil himself knows that his end is the lake of fire, and he’s determined in himself to not go their by himself, he wants others to suffer with him through out eternity.  There’s not going to be any party in hell but only torment and suffering for eternity, weeping and gnashing of teeth, where their worm does not die.

It is not God’s desire for people to perish and be destroyed.  First of all he had sent his only begotten Son to die for the sins of the world.  And now he sends his servant preachers to reach out to the lost and the dying souls of men and women.  And he sends his Holy Spirit to convict people of their sin.  Yet you hear people all the time, accusing God of condemning people and judging them and sending them to hell.  

Tonight, God is your friend.  The devil is not your friend, he is your enemy.  Jesus is your friend.  Everyone should be running toward God and away from the devil.  Tonight, God is man’s best friend.

The Bible said, 

Joh 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

This speaks of the greatest love that a man can give.  But the even greater love that God has shown is Jesus dying to save the lives of his enemies.

Because Jesus did not only die for his friends but also for his enemies.  Jesus died for those who crucified him, he died for those who spat upon his face, and pulled his beard.  And while yet hanging on the cross, he cried, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Rom 5:10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Alll that Jesus wants for the whole world is to be saved from sin, and that is to believed in him and allow his blood to wash our sins, our conscience, our lives and be born again of the Spirit of God.

That’s what Jesus is all about.  Jesus is all about saving, and healing and blessing and giving.  And Jesus is not to blame if people are not saved, if people are not healed or are not blessed. 

With all that’s said about Jesus Christ.  What’s stopping you from coming to him.  What’s stopping you from being his instrument to reach men and women for him.  What’s stopping you from receiving his blessings and his gifts that he made available for you.  What’s stopping us from telling the people that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only  way to restore man’s relationship with God?

Why don't you call upon the name of Jesus right now, and tell him to save you from sin and from the enemy of your soul satan.
