Like Jesus

I want to walk like Jesus did
Beneath this earthly dome
Spreading truth hope and freedom to kin
Until our savior calls us home

I want to spread his gospel news
Of our father’s amazing Grace
And everyone to see the holy Spirit
When they gaze upon my face

I want to be a tailored copy
Of the life that Jesus led
Teaching of the eternal land
Make sure his sheep are fed

I want to be as the faithful Shepherd
Whose heart is pure and true
And tell the story of the mansions
They’ve built for me and you

I want to be like the righteous one
Who has no sweeter name
The Redeemer of all pardons
Hence is why he came

I want to nourish the hungry crowds
Maybe grant a dying wish
Do things that seem impossible
As he did with five loaves and two fish

I want to walk a true Christian Life
Flowing love along the way
And Jesus is the only one
We should edify and portray

But I could never walk like Jesus did
No greater man has no one saw
For when I see the Savior of the cross
From my heart to my knees I shall fall

What Gabriel Never Expected

Prior to Bethlehem God gave us his messengers, his teachers, his words. But in the manger God gave us himself. Extraordinary, don’t you think? I imagine even Gabriel scratched his head at the idea of “God with us.” Gabriel surely was not one to question his God-given missions. When God sent, Gabriel went.

And when word got out that God was to become a human, Gabriel was no doubt enthused. He could envision the moment: The Messiah in a blazing chariot. The King descending on a fiery cloud. An explosion of light from which the Messiah would emerge. What he never expected, however, was a slip of paper with a Nazarene address. “God will become a baby,” it read. “Tell the mother to name the child Jesus. And tell her not to be afraid.”

Gods With Us Promise

Jesus understands you. He’s faced hunger, sorrow, and death and wants to face them with you. The Bible says Jesus “understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin” (Hebrews 4:15).

If Jesus understands our weaknesses, then so does God. Jesus was God in human form. He was God with us. That’s why Jesus is called Immanuel. Immanu means “with us.” El refers to Elohim, or God. So Immanuel is not an “above-us God” or a “somewhere-in-the-neighborhood God.” He came as the “with-us God.” All of us.

“I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). Search for restrictions on the promise, and you’ll find none. There’s no withholding tax on God’s “with us” promise. God is with us. What great news!
