Noko lelive liyangijezisa, kani 3: The nature of God - A God Who Can Relate to the Human ExperienceSome think of a God as being remote and distant, like he created the universe, then left it alone to operate on its own. Wouldn't it be better to have a God who is involved in the universe, and specifically, in what's happening here on Earth? And what about the unique difficulties, responsibilities and challenges that we face as human beings? Wouldn't it be better to have a God who could understand those things, a God who somehow knows what it's like to endure life in the harsh world he's allowed to exist? The God of the Bible knows what it means to be one of us. Jesus Christ was not only God's Son, he was God who had taken on a human form and a human nature. "In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word [Jesus] was with God, and the Word [Jesus] was God. The Word became flesh [human] and made his dwelling among us."Of God's Son, the Bible says, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being."He is "the image of the invisible God." He is the "Mighty God, Eternal Father" who was "made in human likeness" and "found in appearance as a man." In him "all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form." And "by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible."Jesus said of himself, "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." "He who beholds me beholds the One who sent me." And, "I and the Father are one." Though he was fully God, Jesus was also, somehow, fully man. He hungered, slept, wept, ate. He endured every kind of difficulty we face, and then some. Therefore, the Bible says he is not "unable to sympathize with our weaknesses."20 He was "tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin."So the God of the Bible didn't remain aloof from the pain, suffering and evil in our world. He endured life as we must endure it. In fact, he had a very humble time while on this planet. He was born into a poor household, was not physically attractive, encountered prejudice and hatred, was misunderstood even by family and friends, and was wrongfully executed.JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD AND THEY CRICIFIED HIMNOW GOD CAME AROUND AS GOD IN DIFFERENT BUT HUMAN IMAGE AND THEY COULD NOT VUMA HIM. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/banghead.gif" />
