Who is God? All hail the power.... (part 16)


Jesus came when God was ready for Him to be transformed into a child. As part of Himself, this was not an easy task, but God knew that the only example that humanity could ever have of what a perfect being was, that was tempted yet without sin had to come in the flesh yet retain His qualities. And He knew that His son could only be like this with training and obedience, but most of all learning His timing. Isn’t that what accepting God is all about? One of the greatest lessons that Jesus teaches everyone is to wait upon the LORD God, that His time is not our time. And that when He comes, His justice would indeed be carried out, but first we have to learn that it does not come from us. (Is 11:-1-10) When He came it was from God’s time, He comes in purity, without blemish and with the love of God. The importance of His coming is that He comes to bring peace to all men and cultures and joy to their hearts. (Is 29:18-24) He came to show us that the treasures of Jesus come from God because He is God. (John 1; 1 John 1). He came to show us that God and only God reigns supreme and holy over all things. All things by God and Jesus are sown in righteousness. All of Jesus’ teachings are to bring all men to peace and to show them a new way and by His example show us who we are and who we need to be. (Is 32:1-20). He cares for all of us, He loves us, and He is all powerful, but because He allows God to be in control, and He knows that all things come from God, He is not given to meanness or wickedness or foolishness. This is Jesus. He is the ruler in peace.
