Who is Jesus Christ?

Hello All,

Some say He was a wise teacher. Some perceive Him as an all-knowing prophet. Others view Him as a powerful miracle-worker.

Who is Jesus Christ?

By Joanne Liaw Sook Ling

Christ was born not in a palace of gold

He was born in the town of Bethlehem

He was born there, in a stable so cold

In a manger laid the pure, perfect Lamb

Christ was clothed not in fine vestments of gold

He was clothed in thin wraps of poverty

He was clothed thus, in a stable so cold

In a manger laid the frail, weak Baby

Christ was crowned not in the splendour of gold

He was crowned in the shame of mocking thorns

He was crowned so, in Calvary, we're told

On a cruel cross hung the pure, perfect Lamb

Christ was scorned by mocking sinners, we’re told

He was scorned by people He’d come to save

He was scorned so, nailed to the cross of old

On the cruel cross, He died for the depraved

Christ was placed in a tomb so dark and cold

But He rose from the grave and conquered death

He gives us life; more precious than gold

In this Saviour, we find life-giving breath

Do you trust in Jesus’ death to save you?

Have you found life in His resurrection?

What’s keeping you from trusting what’s true?

In the Gospel are truth and salvation

Points for Reflection:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

(John 3:16 ESV)

·       Jesus was indeed a teacher, a prophet and a miracle-worker. But He is so much more than that.

·       He is God, the Creator of the universe, who chose to save us by becoming one of us. He took on mortality so that He could take the punishment we deserve and die in our place.

·       He is the Creator of the world and the Saviour of mankind.
