“The Unique One”

 “The Unique One”

 

For the law was given through Moses, but God’s UNFAILING LOVE and FAITHFULNESS came through Jesus Christ.  NO ONE has EVER seen God.  But the UNIQUE ONE, who is Himself God, is near to the Father’s Heart.  He has REVEALED God to us.   John 1:17-18

We are going to find out some things that will reveal the uniqueness of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Son of the LIVING GOD. First of all, the UNIQUENESS of the BIRTH of our LORD, was very UNIQUE in that His Mother, Mary, was betrothed to a POOR, LOWLY carpenter, named JOSEPH.  They had NOT come together as husband and wife.  They were in, what we will call the ENGAGEMENT part of the BETROTHAL.  And so, MARY was a VIRGIN, she had never been with a man.  She was PURE, and CHASTE, a GODLY young lady who was devout in her worship of her LORD GOD. She was a PERFECT CHOICE for the one who would give birth to the SON of the LIVING GOD.  So, the CONCEPTION of JESUS was pretty UNIQUE.

And so, it was that the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD came upon Mary and she became WITH CHILD, the CHILD of the LIVING GOD. And He is HIMSELF GOD.  The HOLY TRINITY tells us that, God the Father, God the SON, and God the HOLY SPIRIT.  In the GOSPEL of John, John tells us that Jesus was with God and HE IS GOD.  John tells us that:  In the BEGINNING, the WORD (who is JESUS) was with God.  And the WORD was GOD.  He EXISTED in the BEGINNING with GOD.  God created EVERYTHING through the WORD (Jesus), and NOTHING WAS CREATED EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.  In verse fourteen, it tells us that the WORD became FLESH (human) and made His Home among mankind.  Again, I would say that this is UNIQUE. 

John the Baptist called Jesus, “the LAMB of GOD, who takes AWAY the SINS of the WORLD.” He is the CHOSEN ONE of GOD.  In John 6:38-40, Jesus says: “For I have come down from Heaven to do the Will of God Who sent Me, not to do MY OWN will.  And this is the Will of God, that I should NOT lose even ONE of all those He has GIVEN Me, but that I should RAISE them up at the LAST DAY.  For it is My Father’s will that All who SEE His Son and BELIEVE in Him SHOULD HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.  I will RAISE them UP at the LAST DAY.” This IS what the BELIEVER calls the “RAPTURE” and I MUST SAY, we are SO LOOKING for that NEXT PROPHETIC EVENT to TAKE PLACE.  This too, is UNIQUE about the LORD JESUS.  Are YOU looking for that DAY when ALL TRUE BELIEVERS will be RAISED UP to an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN??  It COULD BE ANY DAY!! 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God through His ONLY Son, JESUS CHRIST, you have the OPPORTUNITY to do this NOW!  YOU MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS.  YOU MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for you, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  YOU MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  YOU MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, YOU MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and ENJOY a UNIQUE ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS, the UNIQUE ONE!!! Do this NOW while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
