Is Jesus a beautiful painting you see at church?

Is He intricately carved into the stained glass, a work of art someone made with their hands?

Is He a concept?

Is He an idea, a theoretical possibility?

Is He a denomination?

A doctrine?

A theology?

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully man, fully God, Prince of Peace, the Good Shepherd.

Jesus is a real person, who walked this earth we walk… He is the great High Priest, who understands our humanity and weakness and intercedes to God on our behalf.

He is the Ultimate Cornerstone on which the real church is built.

Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God.

He is a friend.

He was and is your complete propitiation, your more-than-enough, perfectly absolute and final forever replacement for what you deserved from the wrath of God for your sin.

Jesus is a person, a presence, a peace.

He is tangible and real and strong and a real man’s man… He can handle the raw and the ugly.

He’s not too far away.

He’s closer than a brother.

He is to be experienced. Encountered.

He is Savior.

He is Lord.

Fall in love with Jesus.
