More Than a Moral Man

Today we had some interesting visitors: two older men in suits, with literature. Joe said something to them about it being Good Friday and they made some statement about Jesus being a good "moral example". They made a clear distinction between "Jehovah" and Jesus his son.

Tonight we did our devotions by candlelight and we read about the Last Supper and Jesus subsequent trial and death. A moral man? Yes, but so much more. The accusation against him was that he claimed to be the Son of God. In his life he made clear that he was God's Son. He made the dead, live. He controlled the natural elements: water, wind, bread, fish, etc... He lived impeccably, as only God, Himself, could. Christ also knew the prophesies about Himself and He fulfilled them exactly.

A good "moral example"? Yes. But so much more. He is the only Being that can take a sinful human and make him aware that morals are even needed. He is the only One that can provide a way to become truly moral. He is the One that not only feet washes but also hearts, so that we can be known by Jehovah, the great I Am.

Praise God that HE didn't provide just a moral example for us, but also redemption, justification, and eternal life with Him!
