Names can’t fully describe Him, pictures can’t capture His image - He is indescribable. Words can’t define His nature - He can’t be exaggerated.
“He is the RADIANCE of the glory of God and the EXACT imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the WORD of His power” (Hebrews 1:3). “He is the IMAGE of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him ALL things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – ALL things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before ALL things, and in Him ALL things hold together” (Colossians 1:15-17). “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:1-5). He is God, and He is humble. “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did NOT count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made Himself NOTHING, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above very name, so that at the NAME of Jesus EVERY knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and EVERY tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:3-11)Do you get a glimpse of my Savior? He is God and the word of His power holds the universe together, but He humbled Himself to nothing. He used His hands as a carpenter when He was young. With the same hands, He touched lepers and healed them. With His hands, He took what was lame and healed. With His hands, He laid them on children and prayed for them. With His hands, He loved. He is love. This is true love that God would lay His life down for us, so that we may have eternal life in Him. He is the Son of God; He is the way, the truth, the life. Do you trust Him? Do you believe in Him? Do you have faith in Him? He has promised, “I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.” “If we have died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful- for He cannot deny Himself.” (2 Timothy 2:11-13) He remains faithful, but do you have faith in Him? Are you a child of God? Jesus is the only way to conquer the sin inside of you. Jesus is the only way to defeat the sting of death. Jesus is the only way to the Father in heaven. He is the only truth that is right all the time every time no exceptions, anyone and everyone is called to have eternal life in Him, but apart from Him there is no way into heaven. Good works only box you in and buries you, but Jesus saves you and promises that in Him there is eternal life. He is the light of men, He is the true life, He is the only way, He is the absolute truth, He is the Prince of Peace, He is Mighty God, He is the One on the white horse with a sword on His side who drives away the darkness by the word of His mouth, mountains quake, seas shake, demons shudder, every knee bows, every mouth confesses at the sound of His name. His name is Jesus.
