What do you think about Jesus?

Long ago, God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face, telling them little by little about his plans. But now, in these days, he has spoken to us through his Son to whom he has given everything and through whom he made the world and everything there is.
God's Son shines out with God's glory, and all that God's Son is and does mark him as God.
He regulates the universe by the mighty power of his command.
He is the one who died to cleanse us and clear our record of all sin and then sat down in highest honor beside the great God of Heaven.
Thus he became far greater than the angels, as proved by the fact that his name "Son of God," which was passed on to him from his Father, is far greater than the names and titles of the angels. For God never said to any angel, "You are my Son, and today I have given you the honor that goes with that name." But God said it about Jesus. Another time he said, "I am his Father, and he is my Son." And still another time—when his firstborn Son came to earth—God said, "Let all the angels of God worship him." - Hebrews 1:1-5 (Living Bible)

He is God.
He is eternal.
He is the second person of the Trinity.
He is the Son of God.
He is the Creator of the world.
He is the Savior of the world.
He is the only way to Heaven.

Christ is the exact likeness of the unseen God.
He existed before God made anything at all, and, in fact, Christ himself is the Creator who made everything in Heaven and earth, the things we can see and the things we can't; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for his own use and glory.
He was before all else began, and his power holds everything together.
He is the Head of the body made up of his people—that is, his Church—which he began; and he is the Leader of all those who arises from the dead so that he is first in everything; for God wanted all of himself to be in his Son.
It was through what his Son did that God cleared a path for everything to come to him—all things in Heaven and on earth—for Christ's death on the cross has made peace with God for all by his blood. This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies and hated him and were separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions, yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through the death on the cross of his own human body, and now as a result, Christ has brought you into the very presence of God, and you are standing there before him with nothing left against you—nothing left that he could even chide you for; the only condition is that you fully believe the Truth, standing in it steadfast and firm, strong in the Lord, convinced of the Good News that Jesus died for you, and never shifting from trusting him to save you. This is the wonderful news that came to each of you and is now spreading all over the world. - Colossians 1:15-23 (Living Bible)

Do you know Jesus Christ personally and is He the Lord of your life?

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Christ, by highest Heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail the incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King." - Charles Wesley

Be Encouraged to know the Christ of Christmas as the Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Sovereign, Immutable God of all creation and Savior of the world!
