Who is Jesus?

 Who is Jesus?

I would like to study and apply the truth of our identity is in Christ. I belief that could prove to be a deep and profound and potentially life transformative journey. 

I decided to begin with a consideration of who is Jesus. 

Jesus is the eternal Son of God, equal with God, and with authority from the Father. John10:30-33 Matthew 16:15-16

Jesus took on human flesh in order to be our Savior. Jesus is fully man and fully God. Colossians 2:9

As I review the scriptures I will share thoughts regarding how Jesus is described. 


*Immanuel - God with us Matthew 1:23


*The Word John 1:1


*Son of man (human) John 1:14


*Savior John 3:16, Acts 4:11-12 1John2:2, 1Corinthians 153-4 Philippians 3:20


*Our blessed hope 1Peter 1:3


*Healer 1Peter 2:24 


*Mediator 1Timothy 2:5


*Pure compassionate High Priest Hebrews 4:14-16


*Holy 1Peter 3:15


*Light of the world John 8:14


*Alpha and Omega 

Revelation 22:13


+Our blessed hope Titus 2:13


*King of Kings and Lord of Lords Revelation 19:16


Jesus is sure of His identity. When He was here on earth He confidently proclaimed who He is. He was clear about His calling and purpose. 


"Then they all said, 'Are You then the Son of God?' So He said to them, 'You rightly say that I am'" (Luke 22:70). "Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth'" (Matthew 28:18).


May we have a deeper appreciation for the attributes of Jesus and a greater reverence for Him. 


As we are grounded in faith and respect for our Lord and Savior I desire to be rooted firmly in my true identity in Christ. 


Goodness of God

Happy Birthday Tanner!

Today is my beloved dog Tanner's birthday. It's a nice time to reflect on how special he is, and how grateful I am to have him as an important part of my life. It's also a good excuse to "brag" about him and share some favorite pictures: This is when we first met. I can hardly believe it has been three years already! Tanner won my heart right away  He can be quite silly! Tanner loves to play... But he does his job when I need him - a very talented dog indeed! He closes the door                                                            Tanner turns on and off lights And we have even had the opportunity to teach children  about service dogs. Tanner is excellent at many th...

Tanner the Star

As I had mentioned, Tanner and I had the privilege to talk to kids about service dogs. It was quite enjoyable. The children were an eager interested audience! I tried my best to explain what a benefit Tanner is to me. Tanner is indeed a special star demonstrating some of the things he does for me.  The teacher has a blog and posted an entry about the event. I'm sharing it with you in case you're interested: http://klette2.blogspot.com/2010/04/marybeth-and-tanner-come-to-visit.html Who could have thought that I would be blessed with such a beautiful service dog and together we would do something which I love ... interact with children.

Role Models

-
People we can emulate often are very meaningful and significant in our lives. Positive role models can motivate us to pursue excellence. They nay even instill hope for what is possible. In my career as an advocate and rehabilitation counselor, I had the privilege of working with many young people with disabilities to assist them in setting goals for employment and independent living. Often it is especially difficult for disabled youth to plan for their future because they lack a vision for what's possible. Opportunities to interact with happy successful adults with disabilities could be helpful to intill hope and encourage kids with disabilities to dream. I've wanted to be a teacher since I was a child. I absolutely loved playing school and longed to have a real class of students. As a teenager I was thrilled to volunteer in a classroom of primary aged children who were deaf. My heart soared with enthusiasm and expectation as I planned to attend college as a special education ...
