Cross thoughts: Christian ideas seen in Sudanese every day life.
God loves people! It is why He made so many of us. The variety of human beings shows us the greatness of God’s love. He loves every person whom He has ever made, including all Arabs and all Africans.
Once, and only once, God Himself became a man. He lived on earth as a man, without surrendering the fact He was still God. This one man’s name was JESUS. He lived 2,000 years ago around about Jerusalem.
God miniaturised as Jesus, yet still being “fully God”.
Our worship magnifies incredibly as we understand more of God and His love.
God loves people enough to come to us and live among us.
God wants us to understand Himself.
God knows our limited understanding so He showed Himself to us in a way we can more easily understand.
It is as if God says, “If I was one of you people, this is what I would be like”.
Christianity has a much higher view of Jesus than any other world religion. Some admit Jesus was a prophet. Others know Jesus was a good teacher.
Christianity alone says more – that Jesus was (and is) God in human form.
The reason God came like this was to bring every man, woman and child on earth into a relationship of PEACE with Himself.
“For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him (Jesus), and through Jesus to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through Jesus’ blood, shed on the cross”.
Colossians 1:19-20.
Are you at peace with God? Have you asked Jesus to save you? Do it now!
