HE WALKED AMONG US!!

"And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived a while) among us...". John 1:14. Oh yes, HE IS AMONG US my friend! He was flesh, bones and blood, and yet He was fully human. The next moment miraculously fed 5000 because He was fully God. Hr was thirsty because He was a human but He walked on the water because He was fully God. One moment Jesus agonized on a cross and died because He was human but three days later He rose from the grave Because He was fully God. The tongue that called forth the dead was a human one. The hand that touched the leper probably had dirt under its nails. The feet upon which the woman wept were calloused and dusty. And His tears came from a broken heart like ours. So people came to Him. Do you know Jesus went looking for Matthew the Tax Collector? Jesus was walking down the road- and he stops right in front of Matthew's table. And He says nothing more than: "Follow me". Jesus only had twelve disciples. A lot of people wouldn't have picked Matthew. Now a days there are some congregations who only want 'respectable' people coming to their church. In fact Pharisees saw Jesus eating with Matthew and his friends and they were offended. People came to Him at night; they touched Him as he walked down the road, followed Him by the sea shores, they invited Him to their homes, and placed their children at His feet. Why? He came down from heaven in search of us and to be with us. He refused to be a statue in a cathedral or a priest in an elevated pulpit. HE CHOSE INSTEAD TO BE JESUS!! How about you my friend? Are you like JESUS? REALLY?
