The Covenants God Made
Gabriel Appeared to Mary , she was chosen from all time to have the greatest privilege a creature could enjoy. At God’s appointed time, the angel Gabriel entered Mary’s home and announced to her God’s plan. The angel quickly reassured her however, and gently calmed her fears, before telling her the news.
“Behold, thou shalt conceive in they womb and shalt bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High…..”
To Mary, familiar with the prophecies of the Savior, this could mean only one thing: she was to become the mother of Christ.
From the moment of his birth, Jesus made a dramatic impact on his surroundings.
He was born in an obscure Jewish Village more than 2,000 years ago. Angels appeared to announce his birth, a bright star emerged to celebrate the occasion, and shepherds hurried to his humble cradle to honor the baby’s arrival. Even wise men from the East visited Judea to worship him.
Jesus grew up in Nazareth, and his quiet upbringing was punctuated by an important visit to the temple when he was just a boy of age 12. There, he amazed all the teachers of the law by his uncanny Wisdom and Mature Understanding of the Ancient Hebrew Scriptures. Mary and Joseph were astonished by the words and actions of their Precocious son, and by the Unmistakable Godly call upon his Life.
However, Jesus did not begin his Ministry in earnest until he was about 30 years old, leaving behind his vocation as a carpenter in Nazareth. The inauguration of his life as an itinerant preacher was marked by colorful and significant events, much as his birth was. John The Baptist announced his coming, and God opened up the heavens and poured out a Blessing on his beloved son.
For the next 3 years, he was accompanied by his small band of disciples and friends, Jesus traveled from place to place Preaching and Healing wherever he went. Crowds gathered all around him eager to hear his wise words, his surprising teachings, and his Memorable stories. Still others came for healings and encouragement.
From Seashores to Synagogues, Jesus Proclaimed the GOOD NEWS of the KINGDOM of GOD, turning accepted social and religious ideas upside down. He pronounced blessings, on the poor, he cherished children, and treated women with dignity and respect. Jesus denounced False Religion, Hypocrisy, and Sin. He called for Repentance, and he promised Joy, Freedom, and a NEW LIFE.
Jewish Religious Leaders and other detractors had challenged the Authority and teaching of Jesus. They had arranged for his Capture and death. His Life, Death, and his Resurrection marked just the beginning of Christianity, which spread Worldwide…in a Remarkable Fashion.
More, than 19 Centuries have passed by, and his Popularity and Impact have only increased over time. Many have given allegiance to Jesus and his Teachings, and regularly honoring the World’s Central figure on Sunday Mornings in Worship Services everywhere. His Love has TRANSFORMED Countless Lives, and many Great Social Causes as well; have been fulfilled by his Life and Example.
But, it is GREAT WISDOM of JESUS that is most Cherished by those who look for His Grace and Truth in his timeless words.
