2 GOOD MORNING FAMILY..thoughts from DAVID He began His ministry being hungry, yet He is the Bread of Life. Jesus ended His earthly ministry by being thirsty, yet He is the Living Water. Jesus was weary, yet He is our rest. Jesus paid tribute, yet He is the King. Jesus was accused of having a demon, yet He casts out demons. Jesus wept, yet He wipes away our tears. Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver, yet He redeemed the world. Jesus was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. Jesus died, yet by His death He destroyed the power of death. (Gregory of Nazianzus, A.D. 381) Jesus is amazing, isn t He? This summer we are taking a look at Jesus through the Old Testament Scriptures. The entire Bible is about Jesus. But, in the Old Testament, God casts a shadow of Jesus to prepare His people for a coming Savior one who would provide perfect deliverance from their greatest adversary. There are so many examples of this. If you aren t sure who Jesus is, then let me suggest you read carefully the Gospel of John. Here is what you will find: Jesus came to fill us up inside (John 2) Jesus came to build faith in us (John 4) Jesus came to bring us hope in a hopeless world (John 5) Jesus came to show that God is faithful (John 5) Jesus came to challenge our preconceived ideas about God (John 6) Jesus came to refresh our souls (John 7) Jesus came to make clear God s plan of redemption for mankind (John 12) Jesus came to be our example of how we should live (John 13) This list doesn t even exhaust the plethora of reasons why Jesus came to earth as God s representative to mankind. There is not enough that can be said about Jesus. So, as we continue through our series Shadows of Faith, let me challenge you to see Jesus again for the first time and fall in love with Him for the first time or all over again. Keep Looking Up!
