WHO IS JESUS?

HE IS MY FRIEND, MY BROTHER, MY COUNSELOR, MY DEFENDER, MY DOCTOR, MY
LAWYER, MY TEACHER, MY HIGH PRIEST, MY SAVIOR....
I WAS SHAPED IN INIQUITY, BORN IN SIN. CONDEMNED TO DEATH FOR ADAMS
DISOBEDIENCE. JESUS KNEW WHAT I WOULD DO BEFORE I WAS EVEN A GLEAM IN MY
FATHERS EYE.
BECAUSE OF SIN, I WAS SEPARATED FROM HIM; WITH AN APPETITE FOR THE THINGS OF THE FLESH AND NOT THE SPIRIT....I HAVE AN ENEMY. HIS NAME IS SATAN. HIS DESIRE WAS FOR ME TO DIE IN SIN; TO NEVER BECOME WHAT GOD INTENDED ME TO
BE; BUT BECAUSE OF JESUS, SATANS POWER OVER ME WAS NEUTRALIZED. HE HAS
BEEN DEFEATED....
DURING MY LIFE I PICKED UP SOME BAD HABITS, WE ALL DID, WE ALL DO; WE CAN'T
HELP IT....BUT WHEN JESUS WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS THAT DAY AT CALVARY, NOT
ONLY WERE MY SINS NAILED THERE, HIS SACRIFICE GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO
LEAVE MY SINFUL LIFE BEHIND AND RECEIVE GODS PROMISE OF AN EVERLASTING
LIFE IN HIS LOVING PRESENCE. EACH AND EVERY DAY THAT I WAKE, I DESIRE TO BE
MORE LIKE HIM, TO SHAKE OFF THE OLD MAN, THE OLD HABITS, THE OLD THINKING,
TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO WHAT HE IS....
I DID IT MY WAY AND I MADE A MESS; I AM GLAD THAT JESUS HAD MERCY ON ME;
THAT HIS COMPASSION FOR ME COMPELLED HIM TO DIE FOR ME.
I LOVE HIM FOR THAT.
