Jesus
(By Gregory of Nazasazus A.D. 38)
Jesus began His ministry by
being hungry . . . Yet He is the Bread of Life.
Jesus ended His earthly ministry by being thirsty . . . Yet He is the Living Water.
Jesus was weary . . . Yet He is our
rest.
Jesus paid tribute . . . Yet He is
the King.
Jesus was accused of having a demon . . . Yet He cast out demons.
Jesus wept . . . Yet He wipes away
our tears.
Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver . . . Yet He redeemed the world.
Jesus was brought as a lamb to the slaughter . . . Yet He is the Good Shepherd.
Jesus died . . . Yet by His death He destroyed
the power of death.
"When the perishable has been clothed with
the imperishable, and the mortal
with immortality, then the saying that is written
will come true: 'Death has
been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is
your victory? Where, O
death, is your sting?'" (1 Corinthians
15:54-55 NIV)
