Is Christ’s deity important?
What do you believe about God? Is He some impersonal, distant indescribable entity that exists in the vast darkness of space. Something like the force in the “Star Wars” movies. A force of good that is in constant battle with the forces of evil. If your god one that you expect to help you whenever you need it, and then otherwise ignore the rest of your life? Do you pay any attention to who God is or do you have any real desire to know this God.
Are you someone who says they believe in God. That you pray to God, talk to God yet deny Jesus Christ. Most religions around the world claim to worship god but deny Jesus Christ. However, it is impossible to believe in the true God and exclude Jesus Christ for He is a member of the trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Is the God you worship, or look to for help a god of your own making, or is He the True God. There are many gods, there are many christ’s in this world, but they are all of man’s making except the True God, Jesus Christ. He was virgin born, was God in human flesh, He never sinned, always did the will of the Father and gave His life a sacrifice for us. Yes for you and me.
Yes, that is what the Easter season is about. It is about the Jesus who followed His Father’s will. He lived a perfect sinless life and freely went to the Cross of Calvary. The nails did not hold His hands and feet in place, it was His love for us that held Him to the Cross. On that rugged cross at Calvary Christ bleed and suffered and died and paid the sin debt which we could never be able to pay.
While He hung on the cross more than six legions of angels, out of human sight, waited for Him to call them to deliver Him. But the call never came, for He did not need their help, He could have come down from the cross at any moment. Had Christ left the cross and destroyed those who crucified Him then you and me and all of humanity would be doomed for an eternity without God finally cast into the “Lake of Fire” with satan and his demons.
But now we have a choice. Will we chose to trust and believe and worship the true living God “Jesus Christ” and be delivered from the ultimate separation from Him, or will we chose our own lives, our own will and spend eternity in hopelessness. For Christ hung on that cross and paid for the sin and sins of the world, to deny the Creator and Sustainer, the True Living God is a sin that cannot be forgiven.
Make this Easter your best Easter. Trust in the Lord and ask Him forgiveness of your sins and let Him be the Lord of your life. He paid for your sins, but you must ask for the pardon and He will give it freely.
