Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the beginning and the end. The first and the last. He is the final amen. He is the bread of life. He is Christ our Creator, our Deliverer, our Everlasting father. He is God. He is the good shepherd. He is the great shepherd. He is the Great High Priest. He is the Holy One. The hope of glory. The image of the invisible God. He is the Great I AM. He is the judge of the living and the dead. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. He is majestic and mighty. No one compares to Him. The only begotten son of the Father, full of grace and truth. He is the power of God. The resurrection and the life. The supreme sacrifice. The Way, the Truth, and the Life. The very word of God made flesh…….

And we, have reduced him, to a poor, puny savior, who is just begging for us to accept him….. accept him, as if Jesus needed our acceptance. Jesus doesn’t need our acceptance. He doesn’t need you or me at all. We need Him. We desperately need Him. For every breath we breathe we need Him. The only reason your heart or my heart is beating at this moment is because Jesus himself is giving it rhythm. And were he to stop, so would we. Where did we get the idea that He needs our acceptance? He is infinitely worthy of all glory in all the universe. And we are desperatley in need of Him
