In the last post we discussed Jesus’ life and death as prophesied in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament. In this post we will look at Jesus’ birth. As God promised, His Son, who all things were created through Him as it says in Colossians and in John, would come into this world, born as a Child to save the world from sin. He did this by living a perfect sinless life, taking on the sins of the world and giving His life for us through His death on the cross. He would grow up to do mighty things, but it started in Bethlehem, in a manger.

Jesus is the most talked about person in the history of the world. Why is that? Why so much controversy? Many people love Him, and many people hate Him? Why? When He came to this world, he showed nothing but love and kindness. Why do people doubt Him? He has been written about not only in the Bible, but in historical writings as well. It is hard to dispute He existed, though many do. Many doubt that He is who He says He is. But He was written about throughout the Old Testament and many prophesies pointed to Him.

Who is the Holy Spirit and what is His purpose? Sometimes I think we don’t really think much about the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is probably the hardest of the Trinity to describe.

Many say He was a good teacher. Many say He was crazy. Many rejected Him. Few say He did not exist; there were too many witnesses and too much written about Him. But we all have to decide who we think He is. I know with all my heart that He is God the Son, sent to this earth by God the Father to pay for our sins. Jesus Christ is our Salvation.

As we dive into what the Trinity is all about, we will look at each person of the Trinity, the Godhead. Who is God the Father? If you had a good father here on earth, God the Father is so much more. He created us, and He loves us. He knows what is best and will accomplish it. If your relationship with your earthly father was not great, you know there is a Father in heaven who loves and will never harm you. He is Almighty God who is powerful and strong, but yet gentle and kind. He is just and He is merciful. There is so much to Our Father in Heaven that is beyond our comprehension, that is indescribable. But one thing we do know is He loves us and wants an intimate relationship with us. So, who is God the Father?
