"We See Jesus!"

 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." (Hebrews 2:9 KJV)

  "Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 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 2:6-11 NLT)

 As I have testified before, when I got saved, the man who spoke at the service that Sunday morning, shared about the Creator, saying, "And I am here today to tell you, that Creator is Jesus Christ!" Instantly, I envisioned Jesus hanging on the cross, thinking to myself, "The Creator of heaven and earth died upon the cross!" My mind was blown, and my heart was melted. When it came time to raise my hand to receive Jesus into my heart, I lifted both hands, as if to double-down on saying yes to Jesus! 

 When I share with people about God, mostly about His little creature, Termites, there is usually no issue with what I am saying; at least, not until I bring up the name of Jesus! There is just something about that name that causes people to gasp and turn away; almost as if you are turning a simple message about God, which they picture as whatever they think God looks like, and you point to Jesus Christ, whom they will sometimes feel offended, just by hearing His name. 

 When I do have visits from the local J.W.'s, (which is hardly never because they have my house marked,) I will test them about being witnesses for Jehovah, saying, "So you are witnesses of Jehovah, right?" And when they say, "Yes, we are!" Then I flip the script, saying, "Jesus is Jehovah!" At which point they turn and walk away, as if I just spoke blasphemy or made fun of the God they witness about.  Whatever you know about Jehovah in the Bible, the main definition for that name is "God is Salvation" which is exactly what Jesus Christ is all about! And, yes, Jesus was and is God; there is no question about that! Although many people do not boldly confess that He is and was whom He says that He is! 

 All they need to do is actually read the Bible, paying attention to all the different messages that declare who He is; but because He humbled Himself here on earth, there is doubt about His beginning, as if, because He was born a man, it doesn't count...

"You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head. He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever. Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty." (PSALM 21:3-5 NLT)
