Jesus Is The Christ!

1Corinthians 2:2 " For I determined not to know any thing amoung you,save Jesus Christ, and him crucified".

Everything God  wanted to say to man, he said with Jesus.Everything God wanted to give to man ,he gave it through Jesus. Everything man needs, lies within Jesus,He is our everything.There is enough in Jesus Christ to serve us all.If two,men are thirsty,and they go to drink out of a bottle, while one is drinking,the other envies,because he thinks there will not be enough for him too; but if a hundred be thirsty and go to a river,while one is drinking, the other envies not,because there is enough to serve them all.

All the spiritual blessings wherewith the Church is enriched are in and by Christ.Our election is by him,as he chose us ;our adoption is by him,our redemption and remission of sins are both through Him. All the gracious transactions between God and his people are through Christ.God loves us through Christ;He hears our prayers through Christ;He forgives us all our sins through Christ.Through Christ he justifies us; through Christ he sanctifies us; through Christ he upholds us;through Christ he perfects us.All His relations to us are through Christ;all we have is from Christ; all we expect to have and/or be hangs on Him.He is the golden hinge upon which all our salvation turns.

Paul tells us in our text that nothing else matters but Christ and him crucified.The fancy titles we give ourselves don't matter.The size of our congregations don't matter,our denomination don't matter.The Pastor or Bishop you sit up under dosn't matter,the only thing that matter is Jesus Christ and Him crucified.Man was lost in sin on his way to hell, God stepped out of eternity into time, wrapped the best part of Him in the worst part of man, and accepted for man the wage paid by sin.Jesus,whipped for our transgressions,and hung on a cross where he suffered, bled and died,that we might live.Then he rose with all power in his hands that we might walk in a newness of life,if we only believe. So let our conversation be about Jesus Christ and him crucified........
