Jesus is Wonderful

We look at the wonder of nature, space, the universe, planets, suns and even exo planets.

When we look at just THIS planet we see such an incredible variety of animals, plants and insects which are all connected and interrelated into one huge complex multi level eco system which boggles the mind.

When we look deep into this eco system we do indeed wonder at its complexity and design. Scientists are surprised and confounded by each and every new discovery which seem to rewrite the rule book.

For the past 200 years or so scientists have leaned towards a naturalistic explanation of everything we can see on this and OFF this world.

The sheer beauty and uniqueness in design often fascinates us and we cannot help but be inquisitive and investigate to the utmost. It seems to be in our nature to be curious.

We are drawn to things which are beautiful. We love to look, to taste, to feel and experience things of beauty as they bring joy, pleasure, peace and tranquility.

We are naturally amazed and drawn to wonderful things.

We react with amazement.

To see something, to understand it
To listen to music, to hear it
To be given delicious food and to taste it

These all bring joy and a sense of fulfilment, satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment as they considered the joys of life.

These are all temporal and limited things, based on our senses …

IF only we grasped the wonderful nature of God, in Jesus Christ.

To see Jesus in his acts as written in the Bible
To hear Jesus in His own words which carry power to deliver
To experience Jesus in His acts of healings
To meet with Jesus in prayer, able to save

When you know the person of Jesus and what he means for you, you will understand just how wonderful he is.

You’d have to read the whole bible every year for the rest of your life to fully understand how Jesus is wonderful for you but suffice it to say that we can’t do this in a 15 minute video.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.

Isaiah 9:6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

The character and person of Jesus is so wonderful in that every moment of his existence on earth was dedicated to bringing deliverance and freedom to the people he met and spoke to. His every waking moment was focused on the people he came to save.

The way He ministered to sick people, the possessed, the poor, the rich and the prideful clearly showed such an excellency, wonderful, astonishingly, marvellous, extraordinary and astounding barely touches just how immensely beautiful He was.

This is the image of the pure face of Jesus that artists have tried to capture in paintings and sculptures but the real beauty and wonder of Christ wasn’t in his looks but was in the condition of his heart.

We humans marvel and are captivated by wonderful things and this is so true when it comes to the person of Jesus. We are perfectly created to have this relationship with God that when we learn of his wonderful nature we automatically and instinctively fall in love with him.

I say again, we are perfectly created to a a relationship with God through Jesus but we only truly see this when we get a revelation, an epiphany or an eyes wide open moment which changes our lives forever.

Once the wonder of his nature is seen it is very hard not to be amazed by it.

We are indeed made and designed to have a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ.

Every sad, painful and terrible moment in our lives can be washed clean from our minds and hearts by the power of God though Jesus Christ.

Every sin that we’ve committed can be forgiven. 

Every broken relationship can be mended

Every sickness and disease can be healed

Every dark path can be illuminated and our ways shown clearly so we do not fall

Each and every day we live with Christ can be a day of victory and joy.

So, why don’t people come to Jesus Christ to receive this freedom? The answer is simple, sin and shame.

We shy away from God, we hide and we cover what is wrong because of shame.

Isa 53:4 - 5 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

Isa 53:11  Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.

Mat 8:17  This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”;

Joh 1:29  The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!;

Heb 9:28  so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Jesus bore our shame and illnesses on the cross. We are free.

So, how wonderful is this good news? Jesus bore our sins, died in our place on the cross and has made all things work for good for those who love him and is coming back soon to rescue those who love him.

You maybe saying to yourself that this has little to do with you, but:

1 Corinthians 2:9-11 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

Without the spirit of God, through Jesus, it is impossible to understand the immensity of his wonder.

His love is unsearchable

His grace eternal

Be amazed today with Jesus, pray …

Be saved today

Be born again today.

Seek and you shall find

Knock and it will be opened

Ask and you shall receive

Jesus’ wonderful nature is calling you into a relationship with him.

Call upon the name of the lord and be saved.

We look with wonder at so called mother nature where there is no mother but a complex organised system of design, because we need to have that association with something greater.

The mystery of the soul.

Ephesians 3;14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

The full scope of Christ is truly wonderful

Invite him into your life to experience Him for yourself

Pray this prayer: ‘Heavenly Father, please forgive me of my sins that I have committed against you, I’m sorry for sinning against you my whole life, but today I believe in Jesus, that he died on the cross and bore my sins and that he rose from the grave after three days and He is now seated at the right hand of you, my Father in Heaven. I believe that Jesus is my saviour and I accept him into my life now. Jesus, I give you my life now, it is yours, in Jesus name, amen.

This world is passing away and one day you will stand before God and will have to answer for every word and deed you’ve done but don’t accept Jesus and be free from sin because of judgement but because this gospel is truth.

The truth will set you free.

Choose truth and life today.
