JESUS CAME TO THE WHOLE WORLD AND FOUND ONE OUTCAST WOMAN
We just sailed through another Christmas season, celebrating the coming of the savior of the world as a baby in the manger. But there is a reason why the Bible does not record the adolescent years of Jesus, except for one episode, when he was 12 in the temple.
We jump from that description of that young 12-year-old and the priest he interchanged with to a 30-year-old man walking up to John the Baptist to start his destiny God sent him to fulfill.
As interesting as it may be to know the daily schedule of a five-year-old Jesus, the Holy Spirit excluded that on purpose so that we would focus on the main reason that God came in the flesh in the form of Jesus of Nazareth.
John 3:16 tells us that God's only begotten son came to redeem the world and everything God created.
We spend the next three years watching Jesus through the eyes of the four gospels, healing the sick, raising the dead, and feeding the hungry.
Jesus came to the whole world and found one woman, an outcast woman by the well outside of town. If there ever was a snapshot of our heavenly Father's heart toward his children, you see it as Jesus sits alone, ministering to a broken woman.
Christ came to save the world, but it always starts with one lost soul that needs redemption. Jesus was a walking billboard for God, the Father, because he said everything I do is because I see a Father doing it.
As excellent and beyond imagination, as it was to see Jesus heal entire cities. His real work started when the stripes were laid on his back, and they marched him to the cross.
We shout and cheer when the sick are healed, and how wonderful it is. But heaven rejoices, and the angels rejoice. When one lost, child of God comes back to the Father, because Jesus went to the cross, rose from the dead, descended into hell, and led those captives out. He spent 40 days downloading the kingdom of God into the disciples. Then he ascended to the Father and now sits by his right hand, speaking on your behalf against any accusation.
The baby Jesus in the manger is an important start, but let us not be stuck in a never-ending circle. As the Scriptures tell us, we should be like Jesus and go on unto perfection.
