There was a man who lived long ago. A man unjustly accused, and horrifically murdered for a crime He did not commit.
A man of integrity. Such a kind, gentle, sweet soul. He Himself was poor, a poor lonely carpenter. But identified with the needs of His people.
He went about His life feeding the poor, helping the sick, visiting those who have been fairly and wrongly imprisoned, telling life lessons stories to children, comforting the mourners and being a loving devoted Son and brother. He stood up for the afflicted. He cared for the socially outcasted.
And spent His time with the lonely at heart.
He suffered much. Some hated Him without a cause. Angry with Him for no good reason. They called Him a madman because they did not understand. Receiving no honour in His hometown. His own friend betrayed Him. And His friends left Him in the most painful moment of His life. Despite all the crucial times He was there for them.
Apprehended by soldiers, He was led like an innocent lamb to the slaughter. They mocked and spat upon Him. They beat Him until He was unrecognisable. He was beaten so badly His skin was pulled to the bone. They placed a crown of thorns upon His head, and spake it for the blood to run down His face even more. They forced Him to carry a heavy cross. And nailed His hands and feet to it. And also. pierced His side with a spear.
His heart was broken. His love for His people was returned with hatred. He laid down His life as a willing sacrifice to bring about hope and salvation to a dying world, when the world accepted Him not. He came as the light into a world of darkness and despair.
This man resurrected from the dead on the third day. So we can be reconciled back to God through Him by faith. This man is the man Christ Jesus.
