Jesus is Lord!


25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

29Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

34But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

35And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.


John 19: 25-35.

24This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

John 21: 24,25.

Brethren and friends, there are many today that say that Jesus was a holy man, a prophet; But, I remind you that he was both those things, and The Son of God; The Redeemer - Messiah of mankind, something that the ones that claim the previous attributes refuse to acknowlege. He died on the cross to redeem all of mankind from their sins. Did Muhammad die for humanity? Did Gotama Buddah die for mankind? Did Vishnu or Krishna die for all people? Did Confucius die for you or I?

Did Guru Nanak Dev die for everybody?

Did Guan Yu or Zhuangzi?

Did Izanagi-no-Mikoto or Izanami-no-Mikoto?

Did Bahá'u'lláh die for Humankind?

None of these died for every human being that has ever lived.

My fellow Westerners, how about Charles Taze Russell; Joseph Smith, Jr.; Mary Baker Eddy; L. Ron Hubbard; Did any of these people live and die for us all? The answer is quite simply, no! Only Jesus, The Christ was destined to save humanity from its fallen state. So, in spite of all the patronizing statements about Jesus, none dare call Him who He Is: The Savior, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, who died on a cross for us all, resurrected, then ascended above, and is now ministering in the Heavenly Sanctuary.

13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.


Matthew 16:13-17
