There is no doubting the uniqueness of Jesus. After all, He is the Son of God and the Son of Man. He alone lived in Heaven before He lived on earth. He alone lived a sinless life. He alone carried in His heart the absolute righteousness and holiness required to become the sacrificial Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world. He alone rose from the dead to establish Heaven’s Kingdom on the earth. Only in Him do we find eternal life. There is no one like Jesus. There is no one but Jesus. There is only Jesus. Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!

IF EVER A MAN

If ever a man and every nuance of His being rang true,
if ever a personality from the most obvious
to the slightest inference,
if ever the penetrating gaze from a person’s eyes
and the shape of his grin and the raising of his brow,
if ever the reaching of His hands,
the straightening of His shoulders,
the bending of His knees, the callouses
and scratches on His weary feet,
if ever the lingering over a word,
the almost chanting of a phrase
and the boldness of a truth,
if ever a whispered sigh of assurance
or the trembling with emotion of a kindness spoken,
if ever an effervescent goodness unrefined and pure;
then surely in Jesus every one of these phrases,
can be declared without the “ifs”,
for Jesus, Lord and Savior, Friend and Master,
Teacher, Preacher, Shepherd, Healer, Immanuel, God-is-with-Us,
our Mentor and our Brother,
is God’s very personal and His ultimate Victory.

Have this mind among yourselves,
which is yours in Christ Jesus,
who though he was in the form of God,
did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied himself,
by taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form,
He humbled himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed him the name that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus every knew should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:5-11
