16th July God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10, 38 The perfect man - He was the richest and yet he lived in poverty for our sake. - He was Lord of all creatures and yet he became a slave. - The angels honour him whereas humanity only offered him a manger and a cross. - He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. |
- Men answered his untiring love with hatred.
- He had the right to demand but he did not stop to give.
- He was the source of everlasting life and he asked a foreign woman for a drink.
- He soothed the sufferings of the people and he suffered the most.
- When he was insulted he did not answer by insulting. When he was suffering he did not threaten (1 Peter 2, 23).
- Instead of taking revenge he forgave. While he was on the cross he prayed for his hangmen.
- He, the righteous died for the unrighteous.
