Holy One of God

If you met Jesus on the street, how would you react to Him? There have been movies and TV shows which depict exactly that. Some of these shows are more serious in nature, while others are much more flippant. Too often we see Jesus as a man. We see Christ as a person we could give a high five to. Even so, Christ loves about us, despite how naive we are about Him. Much in the same way that little children are loved by their parents because they are still somewhat naive to the world around them. Children do not understand anything but a simple relationship with their parents. Children do not understand everything that their parents do for them. Children do, however, understand the love that heir parents lavish on them. Not everyone is ignorant to the character of Christ. Note some of the encounters that Jesus had with demons during His ministry on Earth. They knew exactly who He is, and what He is capable of. Mark 1:21-26 shows one of Jesus' encounters with an evil spirit. This evil spirit in fact testifies to who Christ is in Mark 1:24 "I know who you are - The Holy One of God!" The enemies of God know exactly who He is. James 2:19 states, "You believe that there is one God. Good!. Even the demons believe that - and shudder." This is a challenge to you, to not only take your faith more serious, but at the same time, to take your God more seriously. We serve a God who is more than capable of helping us take care or our bills, or heal a disease of the flesh. He is Holy, and deserves to be treated as such. As Kim Riddlebarger says, "Repent and believe, because Jesus is the Holy One of God and in Him, the kingdom of God draws near to us." Living Life
