The Lord Jesus Christ
He was God, who became flesh and dwelt among us ... He IS CREATOR! He was a man, born of a virgin, who died and rose again ... He IS SAVIOR! He IS God in Creation; Son in redemption; Holy Ghost in regeneration; the One who loves us eternally ... He is LOVER! He IS the Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords ... He IS Creator, Savior, and Lover.
"CREATOR"
The Creator said to Job, when Job was questioning why he was ever born because of the horrific trials he was enduring, "Hast thou an arm like God? Or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency ; and array thyself with glory and beauty ... Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if thou has understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest. Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner stone thereof; when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? ... Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? ... Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof ... Has thou entered into the treasures of the snow? ..."
The Creator of all that was, is and is to come, has a way with words! When His creation loses direction; He can bring everything into perspective quickly. But, the children of Israel, whom He loves, lost perspective of their God, and worshipped idols time and time again, even after they observed the parting of the Red Sea, the cloud by day and fire by night, the waters pouring from solid rock.
He was the Creator ... rejected ...
"SAVIOR"
The Angel came to Mary and told her she would have a child and His name would be Jesus, and Mary said "Be it unto me according to thy word." The Lord Jesus Christ was born, and he grew to be "quite a man," healing the sick, performing miracles and raising the dead! He was crucified, died and rose again on the third day, for the sins of the whole world.
Thousands of years have passed since the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, but a laodicean world rumbles on, mounting up possessions, marrying and giving in marriage, all as in the days of Noah, not looking for the thief in the night, not applying the blood to the pillars of the heart, not taking hold of nail-scarred hands, not looking up.
He is the Savior ... rejected ...
"LOVER"
In 2011, the world is missing out on the love of their lives! The lover of their souls longs to hold them, brush their cheeks with angels' wings, stroke the lonely places of their weary minds, and give them Hope! He calls; He knocks; He reaches down to a desperate hungry generation, who know not that salvation awaits, who know not the love that is beyond all love! He never leaves; and never forsakes.
He is The Lover ... rejected ...
Dear Lord, that word "Rejection" has been replaced with the beautiful word "Redemption!" There's a growing army who love You, adore You, worship You, serve You, and long for Your return! You're coming back, and we "watch" with great anticipation for the day we meet You in the clouds! We're gathering Your harvest and they're discovering that nobody loves them like You; nobody gives calming beautiful peace like You; nobody comforts their pains and hurts like You; nobody carries them through the screaming thunderous storms like You; nobody whispers love's sweet refrain's like You ... There is nobody like You, Lord Jesus; every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess that YOU are LORD! You ARE our Creator, our Savior, and the Lover of our souls; we kneel at Your feet and proclaim You Lord God Almighty; there is none beside You!
"Creator, Savior, Lover"
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
