"How much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Hebrews 9:14

The Lord Jesus lived an amazing life.  Do you realize that Jesus never corrected, withdrew, or amended any statement He ever made?  I wish I could say that!  Jesus Christ never apologized for anything He ever did or said.  He never sought advice from anyone, nor ever needed to ask for forgiveness.  Jesus Christ doesn't have any strong points.  For Him to have strong points, He would have to have weak points.  The expositor Robert Clark has rightly given this assessment of the character of Jesus:  He wrote "There was meekness without weakness, tenderness without feebleness, firmness without coarseness, love without sentimentality, holiness without sanctimoniousness, lowliness without lowness, truth without error, enthusiasm with fanaticism, passion without prejudice, heavenly mindedness without forgetfulness, carefreeness without carelessness, service without servility, self exaltation without egotism, judgment without harshness, seriousness without somberness, mercy without softness." 

What a person was the Lord Jesus Christ!  Today, embrace the death, burial and resurrection of our Savior with this renewed sense of Who He was--His matchless character.  This is the One Who laid down His life for you.  Is He worthy of your praise today?
