I KNOW

I know He is the beginning,

so why do I worry about the end

I know He is the creator,

so why do I wonder who will destroy

I know He has forgiven me,

so why can't I forgive myself

I know He is a healer,

so why do I speak of sickness

I know He can do all things,

so why do I say I can't

I know He will protect me,

so why do I fear

I know He will supply all my needs,

so why can't I wait

I know He is my strength and my salvation,

so why do I feel weak

I know that everything and everyone has a season,

so why when someone's season is over do I weep instead of rejoice

I know He is the right way,

so why do I go the wrong way

I know He is the light,

so why do I choose to walk in darkness

I know that whatever I ask of God, God will give me,

so why am I scared to ask

I know tomorrow is not promised,

so why do I put off for tomorrow what I can do today

I know that the truth shall make me free,

so why do I continue to lie

I know He gives us revelation knowledge and understanding,

so why do I lean on my own understanding

I know I should live in the spirit as well as walk in the spirit,

so why do I chose to live in the spirit but walk in the flesh

I know that when praises go up blessings come down,

so why do I refuse to praise Him

I know I am saved,

so why do I refuse the word He has given me

I know He has a plan for me,

so why am I rushing it because I am eager to do His will, when it is His time not my time.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, if you want a personal relationship with someone you need to know who that person is.

So lets talk about who Jesus is.

Jesus is God, one of the trinity. The trinity is something that we humans sometimes have a hard time getting our brains around. It is God in three persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. The important part to remember is that they are all God. God has always been, He has no beginning and will never end, therefore Jesus has no beginning and no end. See what I mean about it being hard to really understand? Well what is important is that you believe it, not that you totally understand it.

Jesus came to earth as a baby, born to a virgin (Mary). How could this happen? Well the Holy Spirit caused it to happen. After His birth, Jesus was still God, but He was also a human. Unlike us who are born as sinners, Jesus was born sinless. He lived a sinless life here on earth. That does not mean that his life was different from ours, He was affected by sickness, pain (physical and emotional) and He was tempted by Satan to do things which would have been sinful had He done them.

Jesus was a Jew. The old testament of the Bible is the history of the Jews up to the birth of Jesus. It foretold His coming. The problem was that the Jews thought that when He came He would set up His Kingdom on earth and rule from then on. Jesus did not do that, He came as a man and taught the people His Father's will. Many Jews rejected Him because of this, and finally they put Him to death on a cross like a common criminal.
