MIGHTY GOD

MIGHTY GOD

Isaiah , the major prophet of the Old Testament , nearly 800 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, prophesied and introduced Him , "His name is called Wonderful, Counselor,  MIGHTY GOD,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) 

The word mighty means 'strong and powerful'. The Hebrew word for God is 'El', which means Almighty or Mighty One. When the two word are put together , they mean strong and powerful One- the Mighty One. 

Moses , the great leader of ancient Israel who led the people from Egyptian bondage refers to "The Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords the great, the Mighty." The Lord led them from the bondage of slavery. He was mighty in deeds. He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt.

He parted the Red Sea and paved the way to pass through and made the waters a heap. He led them with a cloud at day time and night with a light of fire. He rained Manna upon His people in the wilderness. He sent quails to satisfy their hunger. He brought the streams out of the rock and caused the waters to run down like  rivers. He smote the rock and water gushed out. He quenched their thirst. He is able accomplish whatever He desires.

Is there any thing too hard for the mighty God ?. The Psalmist says, "The Lord has done mighty things for us ."

Nehemiah refers to Him, "....the great and mighty and the awesome God , who keeps covenant of love."(Nehemiah 9:32)

 

Apostle Paul says, "When the fullness of time was come God sent forth His Son."(Galatians 4:4). He was born neither of the blood nor of the flesh, nor of the will of the man but was born of God. He became flesh and dwelt among us.

 During His earthly ministry He did mighty things in the lives of the people to whom they sought. He healed the sick, and suffering ; the sorrowful and dying and the broken-hearted . He did miracles and signs and wonders.

"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy." Let us draw nigh to the Lord Jesus Christ who will mighty things in our lives.

JESUS CHRIST , COMPASSIONATE GOD

        JESUS CHRIST , COMPASSIONATE GOD

Someone said, "Compassion is a desire to reach out and make a difference in the life of someone else."

A banker had turned a man down for a loan, then made an unusual offer. He said to the man, "I have one good eye and one glass eye. If you can tell me which is which, I will approve your loan." The man looked for moment, then said, "Your left eye is your good eye." 

The banker was surprised. "That's right," he said. "How could you tell?" The man said, "I detected a hint of compassion in the other eye."

Compassion is sharing the feelings of others and possessing a desire to help them in their trouble. 

When we read the Gospels, they tell of Jesus and His great compassion for mankind. We see that our Savior is deeply moved in His inner being by the needs of those around Him. A brief study of the Gospels reveal the truth that His compassion knew no boundaries. Jesus felt the need of all classes and kind of people.

He revealed Himself in hundreds of ways in the Bible as Sovereign God, Gracious God , Holy God, the Lord of hosts, God of all comfort and God of compassion.

Our Lord Jesus used two illustrations to teach the need for compassion- The parable of Good Samaritan -Luke 10:30-37, and the parable of the prodigal son- Luke 15:11-24 .

At Jericho He had compassion on two blind men sitting by the wayside , and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received their sight (Matt 20: 30-34). Seeing a great multitude near the sea of Galilee, Jesus moved with compassion and healed their sickness (Matt 14:14).

He felt compassion towards others. Unlike the people of the world , Jesus cares more for our lives. When He saw the people scattered abroad as a sheep having no shepherd, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted. 
Jesus felt compassion when He saw the people who were suffering.He healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, raised the dead and casted out devils.

The Lord taught us compassion by giving all He had and said,"Go and do likewise." 

Let us heed the teachings of our Lord Jesus.
