Jeff Reynolds One desire: 5 Amazing things about Jesus - Jesus is the Resolution

In Jesus the final resolution of "all things" the unity of all things in the universe is complete and completed in HIM.

	Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
		That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 1:9-10

Jesus is not just a revolution - when we enter into relationship with him - every other relationship changes. Our relationship changes to money, time, hope, love, people, the world, things.......

Jesus is not just a solution - when we enter into following him, trusting him and obeying his teaching everything in our lives begins conforming to his will and good pleasure. Our relationship to problems and circumstances are no longer an "immediate solution" but steps toward the eternal resolution in HIM.

There are many amazing things to remember and meditate on about Jesus.

Here are 5 to celebrate.

1. When we hated him, reviled him, cared nothing for him Jesus died for us. He worshiped the Father, doing his will as a living sacrifice. Romans 5:1-8

Rom 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

2. Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before him. Seeing you and I and our redemption in his blood above the sacrifice of the cross he endured it in faith and for the joy of doing the Fathers will.

Heb 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3. Jesus "gave his life for us" it was not taken from him. He gave it to you and me.
"For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. 18"No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."

John 10:18

4. Jesus Fulfilled many prophecies in the course of his life, death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.

There are a couple problems noted with this list but it provides many references.

Odds of Jesus Fulfilling Just 8 Prophecies

Josh McDowell in his book, Evidence That Demands A Verdict, speaks of the probability of just 8 of the Old Testament prophecies being fulfilled in one individual:

“The following probabilities are taken from Peter Stoner in Science Speaks to show that coincidence is ruled out by the science of probability. Stoner says that by using the modern science of probability in reference to eight prophecies … We find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 10 to the 17th power. That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.

In order to help us comprehend this staggering probability, Stoner illustrates it by supposing that we take this many silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state two feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, all over the state. Blindfold a man and tell him that he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up one silver dollar and say that this is the right one. Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man, from their day to the present time.”

Despite these staggering odds, Jesus Christ fulfilled 300 while on earth (with 200 more yet to be fulfilled). This leaves no doubt that He is truly the Messiah, God the Son!

5. Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth. He is the ruler of the world's Kings.

Rev 1:5

and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

He both has the authority and the ability to bring all things into unity. All things will honor and obey him in perfect righteousness. The course of history and human story is under the soverignty of the Father.
