Who is Jesus?

  If I had to explain who Jesus was to me I'd say the following. Who is Jesus? Simply, He is a savior. He is the one who saves us from eternal torment and cleanses us from our sins. He is kind, loving and patient. He is the reason why we are here today because we all have a purpose and one of them is reflecting Christ and praising and worshiping him. He was beaten and killed on a cross because the first man and woman who were created, named Adam and eve, sinned. He rose from the dead on the third day and ever since He became our lord. Now, you might be wondering if Jesus is an angel. He most certainly is not. Hebrews 2:9 says: " but we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the Angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he conquered death, so by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. " this is saying He died for us and was made a human just like us, and died just like we would, all for God's glory and for that He became crowned in heaven and is our God. God and Jesus are equal. This might be confusing because of the verse from heb. 2:9, but whenever Jesus became a human, he became nothing. Meaning he subjected himself to the will of His Father while on earth. So, Jesus simply plays a different role in the trinity. It's like having a boss and a worker. Yes the boss tells the worker what to do but as individuals they are equal. Like it says in the bible the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are one. Also, another question you might ask about Jesus would be where is he? If he is so powerful he can rise from the dead, surely he can be with us. The thing is when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, sin entered the world. Meaning shame, death, and including seperation from God. God used to walk with Adam and Eve in the garden talking on a day to day basis but now the only communication we can get from God is prayer and the Holy Spirit.

How being partial plays a role in society today

What do people today base there lives upon? Money. People who have more money look better in society also. But that isn't right. In james 5:1-2 it says " come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotten and your garments are moth eaten. " what it's saying is your treasures don't last forever. Gold silver etc. has no spiritual value and will eventually perish. That's why instead of storing up on treasures that have no value we should be focusing on what builds us up spiritually and do not show favoritism twoards wealth. In verse five it says " listen, my beloved brothers, has God no chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom in which He promised to them that love Him. " what this is saying is God chose certain people to be poor. And you should ask yourself if you've ever made a difference in a poor mans life. What would you do if you saw a poor man on the side of the road? Probally avoid him, but see God wants us to act out in faith and help the poor and needy. James 2:8-9 say " if you really keep the royal law found in scripture ' love your neighbor as yourself ,' you are doing it right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as law breakers. " Love everyone equally. Humble yourselves so you can grow closer to God. Don't shun poor people because it's socially unexceptable. 1 Timothy talks about the love of money being the root of all evil. So this passage isn't shunning people who are wealthy, but how you should value your money. Make sure your wealthiness isn't your security.  It can sure make you feel that way but without God's will in your life it wouldn't be there in the first place. So don't show partiality twoards wealth because in God's eyes we are all equal.
