The Uniqueness Of Christ

I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'
Psalm 2:7
Today's Bible Reading: John 1:1-3.
The Lord Jesus Christ is unique. He was different from every other religious leader who has ever lived or ever will live, and with good reason.
You see, the Bible, which is our only reliable source of information about Jesus, makes it very clear that He was more than just another religious leader, teacher or prophet. It tells us that Jesus was unique, in other words, that He was not like any other religious leader who has ever lived.
How was Jesus unique?
First, He was unique in His person. He was not just an unusually spiritual individual. He was more than that: He was God in human flesh. Yes, He was fully man, but He was also fully God. The Bible puts it this way: “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily ” (Colossians 2:9). This is what we celebrated at Christmas.
Second, Jesus was unique in His purpose. Why did He come to earth? He came for one reason: to save us from our sins. As Jesus Himself said, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). He did this by becoming the final sacrifice for our sins through His death on the cross.
How do I know this is true? I know it because Jesus did something no other person has ever done: He rose from the dead. I invite you to look at the Lord Jesus as He is presented in the pages of the New Testament, and then to commit your life to Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for the greatest gift of all time, Your very own Son, the Lord Jesus. Thank You, that He is indeed unique in every way, there is not a friend like the Lord Jesus. Thank You, Father. Amen.
