Short Devotional about What is wrong with Jesus? Apparently everything
Introduction
The world may lead you to believe that there is something wrong with Jesus. They may point to His humble birth, His poverty, His radical teachings, or His suffering death. But as believers, we understand that these supposed flaws are exactly what makes Him the perfect savior. Let’s dive deeper into the heart of the matter and discover the beauty and perfection in Christ’s supposed imperfections.
Let’s challenge our perceptions and really examine the truth about our Savior through His Word in the Bible. Get ready for an incredible journey of discovery, so take heart and open your minds to the embrace of Jesus.
Bible Verse
“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.” (Isaiah 53:3)
Meaning
Isaiah 53:3 describes Jesus as a man of suffering and pain, rejected and despised. In a world that values wealth, power, and pleasure, it’s easy to see how such a figure could be misinterpreted as flawed or wrong. But as believers, we understand that Christ’s suffering was for our sake.
Christ’s rejection by mankind was not a sign of His imperfection, but rather our own. We failed to recognize Him as the Savior because we were blinded by our own mistaken values. His humiliation and suffering were not an indictment of His nature, but a profound demonstration of His perfect love and sacrifice.
Actions to Take
- Read the Bible regularly to understand the true nature of Jesus.
- Reflect on the supposed flaws of Jesus – His poverty, His suffering, His teachings – and think about how they reveal His perfection.
- Discuss Jesus’ life with fellow Christians to gain a deeper understanding.
- Prioritize your relationship with God over worldly values.
- Share your understanding of Jesus with others.
