Jesus Christ was humbled all throughout His life as He became obedient to the will of the Father to save perishing humanity. He waived His godly powers and became like man, born of a virgin in a manger together with animals and was visited by shepherds. All throughout His life, He practiced humility and obedience to His Father's will. And when the time came to sacrifice His very life to save perishing humanity, He gladly accepted His cup of suffering from the hands of His Father. He suffered insults, terrible beatings, curses, betrayal from His most trusted allies and an excruciating death on the cross. He suffered death by the most humiliating and dishonorable way devised by the bloodthirsty Romans- an agonizing, slow death on the cross, insulted and pilloried by all who witnessed His total humiliation. And when He uttered the words "it is finished," His whole work of redemption for all eternity was completed.
But Jesus Christ, who was resurrected from the dead on the third day and ascended to heaven on the fortieth day after His death, will one day return to earth. It will be a totally different setting. He will come in full transcendental glory and will be announced by the trumpets of the angels in the four corners of the earth. All mankind will be spellbound by the sheer glory and magnificence of the returning Jesus Christ, who will come not as a humble servant, but as a conquering hero and Almighty God. All knees will then bow down before His very presence in heaven, on earth and under the earth. Even the demons and their cohorts will be subjected by the mighty swords of the archangels to kneel down before the King of kings and Lord of lords. Then all the inhabitants of the earth, both living and dead, will be judged by Him who have triumphed over the cross.

Following his step is the way to eternal life. Easy to say than done. Every day, it is a struggle to do what he wants us to do for our daily life. Thanks for the post Mel.

Hi Tey,
It will be easier to do His will and please Him if we offer all of our deeds, words and thoughts to Him as an offering. Then, we will be more cautious in what we will say, think or do in order not to displease Him or dishonor His name. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you always.
Just so that we were ready for His coming and recognized Him.
Come Lord Jesus!
Thank you Mel, very important message!
Hi Krystyna,
Yes, we wait with expectancy for that momentous day when the Lord shall come to gather His elect and bring judgment to everybody. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you always.
