The Christ

Hello lovely readers ...Here is another one for us to ponder over ...In what I call the part 1 of 'The Christ Series .lts enjoy ..and don't forget to share .  :)

“He was the meekest and lowliest of
all the sons of men, yet he spoke of
coming on the clouds of heaven with
the glory of God. He was so austere
that evil spirits and demons cried
out in terror at his coming, yet he
was so genial and winsome and
approachable that the children
loved to play with him, and the little
ones nestled in his arms. His
presence at the innocent gaiety of a
village wedding was like the
presence of sunshine.

“No one was half so compassionate
to sinners, yet no one ever spoke
such red hot scorching words about
sin. A bruised reed he would not
break, his whole life was love, yet on
one occasion he demanded of the
Pharisees how they ever expected to
escape the damnation of hell. He
was a dreamer of dreams and a seer
of visions, yet for sheer stark realism
He has all of our stark realists
soundly beaten. He was a servant of
all, washing the disciples feet, yet
masterfully He strode into the
temple, and the hucksters and
money-changers fell over one
another to get away from the mad
rush and the fire they saw blazing in
His eyes.

“He saved others, yet at the last
Himself He did not save. There is
nothing in history like the union of
contrasts which confronts us in the
gospels. The mystery of Jesus is the
mystery of divine personality.” –
James Stewart, Scottish theologian
