A little while ago, my friend Chris
made a video where he provided what I found to be a lovely description of the Lord. I shifted his description around and made a few edits, attempting to preserve the original scope of Chris' words:
He’s fearless. He has been betrayed, put down, cancelled, hated, trampled; his closest friends have betrayed him, belittled him, sold him out for 30 pieces of silver, have thrown him aside as a thing of no value. He will not be silenced. He is like a lion. He only becomes stronger with resistance.
He is relentless. He will not be defeated. He never stops pursuing the fulfillment of God's work. His purpose will be accomplished. There is no obstacle that can do more than slow him down—he will find a way through or around, no matter how long it takes. He will keep hammering on any blocking boulder until it crumbles and clears the path for others who will follow behind him. He stands against the countless people trying to put a stop to his teaching and his efforts. He never stops doing the best that he can in all situations. When his body is beaten and tired and worn out he still takes on burdens of others—their physical and mental burdens. The kingdom of God will come and be established again on this earth because of his work.
He walks in and demonstrates the way. He is the embodiment of the best of mankind. His character is the fulfillment of truth, righteousness, and justice. He sets an example to show that it can be done. He is living proof. He has proven to us we can live a sinless life. He’s paid the price to be filled with light. He’s eager to share it with the world. His words are like a two-edged sword, separating the truth out of false traditions, challenging limited beliefs, leading to greater light and greater life. With the sword of truth, he has freed captives, broken the chains of sin and error, and given those freed the keys to free others.
The "name of Christ" is his character. Have you taken his name upon yourself? Do you have his image engraved in your countenance?
Jesus paid the greatest price to come here and demonstrate the Father to us. He gave us the great gift of the ability to learn what he is like and every sufficient reason for changing to become like him.
What is stopping you from making this description as true for you as it is for him? It is possible, and the only barrier is your choice.
Come, and partake of the waters of life freely. Desire to see the differences between how you are and how he is, the demonstrations of others that prove it is possible to change, and opportunity to make the changes yourself.
