THE UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES OF JESUS THAT CONFIRM HIM AS BEING THE SON OF GOD.

Today, we are in the season of Christmas. We are in the season of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. But what is it about this person that makes us to celebrate His birth? Well, He is said to be the Messiah, the Son of God, the One that came to bridge the divide that Adam and Eve caused between Mankind and God. But how do we believers know that this is true? We shall take a look at some unique and great attributes of His life that indeed prove that Jesus is the Son of God:

1. His birth was announced by angels: Even in Nigeria we know that when a couple births a child, it is the father of the baby that goes about announcing the good news. Mary was told by angel Gabriel she would conceive by the power of the Holy Spirit, and bring forth God's own Son. When the child was born, who went about announcing it? Who sent the angel to the shepherds in the field? Or have you ever read of someone else whose birth was heralded by angels? God simply went about proclaiming the birth of Jesus because He is God's Son. (Note that after being told the good news by angels, the shepherds went to verify and after that they went about proclaiming what they had heard and confirmed.)
2. The works that He did were second to none: The things that Jesus did were different, unique and unheard of. Consider His miracles: who ever restored the sight of a blind man by putting saliva-moistened sand on the man's eyes? Who ever heard of a woman plagued with hemorrhage for 11 years receiving healing by touching the helm of a man's cloth? Who ever heard of someone walking on water? Try it and see! Yet, He was still human: He felt pain, got thirsty, felt hungry, felt tired- indeed John 11:35 says "Jesus wept". He is God, but He was also human to the last detail. (Note that He was God but became human, not that he (not He) was human and then became God.)
3. Lastly, consider His salutations, cognomens and appellations as listed in Isaiah 9:6-7:
a. "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given"
b. "And the government will be on his shoulder": It was never said that He will take it off. He will always rule, carrying his office with Him everywhere.
c. "...Wonderful...".
d. "...Counselor...".
e. "...Mighty God...": This one says it all. Jesus IS God. It leaves no basis for unbelief or doubt anymore. Jesus is indeed God.
f. "...Everlasting Father...": There is no father in this our world that is "everlasting"- they/we all die. But this particular father is unique: He is everlasting! Who else can we say has such an attribute?
g. "...Prince of Peace...": Who doesn't want peace? But how much of it do we have in our world today? But Jesus is the solution because He is the Owner, C.E.O and Executive Managing Director of Peace Distribution Company Plc. All you need to do is to buy a share in His company using the currency of FAITH! Lobatan! (That's all!)

All in all, Christmas is just a date: December 25. But this is the point: the long-promised and long-awaited Son of God has been born, and the work of Mankind's redemption from sin, death and the devil is done! That is the package for everyone: REDEMPTION. Never forget that.

Shalom!

Who can be like Jesus?

Truly, He is God. He humbled Himself to come as human to save us.

Not born in the best maternity home but in mere manager.

He taught us to love, to forgive and be like Him so we can inherit mansions in His Kingdom.
He came into the world He made but the world knew Him not(John 1:10)

In Heaven the 24 elders, 4 living creatures and Host of Angels shout:
Holy, Holy,Holy Lord God Almighty
Which was, and is and is to come

And who is that person that is to come?

His name is Jesus Christ. The ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE FIRST AND THE LAST.
