"Mark of Superiority" -2
"Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows." (Psalms 45:7) When we are talking about things written about Jesus, I don't think that there is a single page in the Bible that does not in one way or another reference Him. Those of His hometown of Nazareth, as amazed as they were, could not comprehend that He was who He said that He was; even His own brothers and sisters did not comprehend it until after He had risen. This was really not something easy to understand, that God would actually humble Himself, become a man and walk among us for thirty-three and a half years, and then suffer and die upon a cross for our sins. Yet it was the only way that the judgment for sin could be satisfied, by the righteous sacrifice of God's only begotten Son; He who was with God prior to coming, who was God prior, and who created the heaven and the earth; that same God, our God, manifested here upon this earth, and He will manifest Himself again; but the next time He will not be so humble, He will come with power and authority. When we read there words that are written within the New Testament in red, these are the words spoken by Jesus Christ in person; that is powerful to think about, even as we look upon them, or touch them, or move our hand over them as we smooth out the pages; these are the words that came from the mouth of God... "But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Thine hands. They shall perish, but Thou remainest: and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail." (Hebrews 1:8-12)
