No one had really seen GOD until JESUS came into the world. Then people did see God, for Jesus was God. And when they heard Jesus speaking, it was God they heard; and when they saw Jesus making sick people better, and raising dead people to life again, it was God they saw doing those wonderful things.
Jesus had many names. The name by which we know Him best, is the precious name
JESUS,
which means Savior. Another of His names was Emmanuel, and that meant —
God with us.
So, if anyone wants to know about our God, the Christian's God, we must listen to what the Bible tells us about Jesus—what Jesus said, and what Jesus did.
Many very wonderful things have happened in the world; but the most wonderful thing of all was when God became a Man. And that Man was Jesus!
And of all the wonderful things that Jesus did, the most wonderful was that He died for our sins; for your sins and mine, dear boys and girls, and He died for our sins because we were sinners, and because He wanted to have us with Himself forever.
Another very wonderful thing was that Jesus did not stop in the grave, but rose again from among the dead, and then went back to heaven!
One day, and it may be very soon, Jesus will come from heaven to take all who belong to Him, that is to say, all who have believed on Him, and trusted Him as their Savior, to take them ALL to be with Him in that holy place of happiness and love, where there will be -
NO MORE DEATH,
NEITHER SORROW,
NOR CRYING,
NOR ANY MORE PAIN!
O, the very best thing in all the world is to belong to Jesus—to belong to Him NOW!
