The actions of Jesus, stake a clear claim as to who He was. But so do His promises. He promised that He was the way to God.

None of the miracles constitutes knockdown proof. But they cause you furiously to think. You have to decide about Jesus. Is He, or is He not, what He claims? Does He, or does He not, bring in the kingdom of God, not just with talk but with power? These miracles of Jesus cannot be set aside. They are in fact the key to what he did.

Jesus' healings were not confined to physical conditions. One of the most fascinating aspects of the gospel story is the tremendous outbreak of demonic activity during his lifetime. As so often happens, the presence of the best provoked the worst. The light of Jesus stimulated the darkness of evil. The Bible is very clear there is a devil, a supreme anti-God force.

Jesus did not come simply to proclaim the kingly rule of God but to bring it to bear directly on our every day lives. In a word, Jesus came to bring healing to a broken world. That is what salvation means: God's wholeness, His rescue at every level of our need. That is what Jesus set about doing.

Jesus used the name Abba of His relationship with God. It was the intimate, family word that the Hebrew child used of his dad. Nowhere in all history of Israel had it been used by anyone of God. That would have been unthinkable. Yet the carpenter from Nazareth confidently referred to God by this intimate, family name.. Abba Father

So what would it look like, this kingdom of God that Jesus had come to inaugurate? He describes it in His most famous address of all, the Sermon on the Mount. It is a prescription for the supremely happy life, lived as God intended.

The call for decision was very urgent. Jesus said "The Deliverer was here." He tells us that if we want to be "saved," to "enter into the kingdom of God," to have eternal life," there is just one condition: We must COME, follow him. We must give our oath of allegiance to Jesus.

What was Jesus like? A very fair question. But how impossibly difficult to answer! One thing though, is certain. The Jesus who meets us in the pages of the four Gospels (the accounts of Jesus written by his friends) is very different from the picture many have of him. He is nothing like the "gentle Jesus meek and mild" of the children's stories. He is not the miserable holy man who never laughs. He is not the fearsome Judge who watches to see if we are enjoying ourselves and then tells us to stop. Nor is he the lifeless figure in the stained-glass window. Jesus, as the Gospels reveal Him to us, is radiantly alive and supremely attractive.

Fleshly weapons opposed to spiritual weapons. In regard to such man-made fleshly weapons and fleshly techniques, Paul said, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS." 2 Corinthians 10:3,4

There must be proper balance applied to the Word of God. Sticking to the Word of God and applying its principles to our lives may seem to take longer; the Word of God requires one to live a crucified life; it demands one to repent from a wrong thought life; and insists that one seek to conform to the image of Jesus Christ.
