Reading this weeks section is very interesting to me, the whole "I am he" and "what is so special about Jesus?" is something that I have always heard and tried to wrap my mind around and I have yet to do it successfully without confusing myself in the process. Simply because Jesus (to me) is a very backwards person. He was a king who died? That is not how this is suppose to work. A king is suppose to lead me to victory and defeat all who stand against me. A king that washed my feet? What, that towel that you are wearing Jesus is suppose to be worn around your shoulder and not around your waist. You see what I'm getting at?
We all know Jesus was born from a virgin, Jesus was a gifted leader and impressive speaker and He did a lot of miracles and raised people from the dead but that's not what makes him special to me.
I think the reason Jesus was special to me is because he was every bit his Heavenly Father yet he was completely human. He experienced every human emotion that we face and yet still lived a perfect life and when I'm mean perfect I don't mean without sin I mean live a gratifying life of laying down his life to show others true life. He was special because he was a man like you and me. He grew tried, he cried, he hungered, and he thirsted: all human dispositions! Yet, he never let that get in his way, actually it made cling even closer to his Father. He is special because not only did he overcome being human but lead others to a place to be with the heavenly father. Much of the time I can't even lead myself to the father, let alone others. For him to walk the same path that I walk and live perfectly is inspiring to me, and I try everyday to walk that path. I think thats what he wants, we wants us to walk that path. he knows its hard and challenging. But thats why he laid himself down for us. So he can live in us, so he can walk beside us.
