SOUNDING OUT:
Jesus Christ Amazes Me

  The name of Jesus Christ is the sweetest name I know, and when we speak in his name with the authority he has given us we see the power of God in manifestation in our lives. Without qualification there is no name under heaven by which we must be saved and through which we manifest our wholeness. What does he mean to me? What does he do for me? Let me try to explain.

  He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, God’s only begotten son.

Jesus Christ…

Amazes me:

Helps me:
Hebrews 4:15,16:
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

Nourishes me:

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Provides peace for me:

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Quickens me:

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Revitalizes me:
Matthew 11:28:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Strengthens me:
Philippians.4:13:
I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.

Teaches me:

But ye have not so learned Christ;
²¹ If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Zealously affects me:

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
