I was at a loss for a bit. Then it crossed my mind about the existence of Jesus Himself. One may argue that His existence centered on the coming necessity of His death, but I have a hard time with that. If being crucified was His only purpose for existing, Herod would have been able, or enabled, to kill Jesus as a child.<BR/><BR/>Jesus is the personification of the Lord God; He has to be. "If you have seen Me, then you have seen the Father."<BR/><BR/>Jesus portrays the Father as a giver (the loaves and the fishes), a protector (cleansing the Temple of money changers), and nurturer ("O Jerusalem, how I've longed for you ... as a mother hen protects her chicks ..."). These are but a few.<BR/><BR/>I think Jesus existed so that man might get just a glimpse of Him in every bit of His glory in calling all of mankind into fellowship with Him. Sadly, however, the condition of man's heart necessitated the Passion (a pastor friend's perspective).<BR/><BR/>I think we tend to make His image more incomprehensible because we are overwhelmed at the thought of Him and, so, we make Him unapproachable.<BR/><BR/>Overly simplistic, I know, but it helped me to describe Him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11007618.post-1122581518414806502005-07-28T15:11:00.000-05:002005-07-28T15:11:00.000-05:00Actually your friend sounds like an agnostic.

They usually profess an uncertainty about God as an institution and explore other explanations to define God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
