If Jesus Was Just, by DianaDee Osborne

IF  JESUS  WAS  JUST
ALBUM:      Amazing LORD 'n' Logic  
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   I sat down.  I started playing.  I have no earthly idea how I came up with this music other than that I had decided that I wanted "heavy" music for these lyrics that I had "just written as the words came to my mind."  I have no human idea;  it's God.

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:   For anyone who is wondering:  Yes, I did deliberately choose a song title that might cause some people to check out the song, thinking that Jesus's righteous justice was being questioned in the song.  Jesus spoke to His disciples about being strategic in their witnessing and living for Him:       Jesus tells us through Matthew 10:16,  “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.  Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”

       It's great to serve our LORD developing His songs for His worshipers... but more than that, my prayers from the very beginning, 3 years before God began answering prayers that were mere hopes knowing how unworthy I was (am) of such an honor of His songs, was this:  To reach God's Word, as revealed in His holy bible,   to people who are SEEKING Him still,   who are openly exploring Truth ------ just as good scientists seek truth in nature openly, without contaminating their experiments with pre-determined expectations of the outcome.

       If you do not yet realize the joy of knowing Jesus really is NOT just a man:  May you find the joy and peace you seek as you continue to openly seek.  For Jesus never, EVER  condemned the person who kept seeking 
before finding.

Dedicated to God-Savior-Jesus, 8 January 2012

LYRICS
1 
IF JESUS WAS REALLY JUST SOME NICE MAN,
then how did He heal so many blind, sick, scared and lame?  And
what of God's   John Chapter 20: 31,   of great signs that Jesus is THE
Christ, as He said, rising up from death on a cross instead of us who
deserve death for sins.  It does make sense that
    we cannot STOP needing God's forgiveness for sins,
    cannot be righteous without Him.


READING AFTER VERSE 1:    MARK 6: 2a
And when the Sabbath had come, Jesus began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get  these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands?

IF JESUS WAS REALLY JUST SOME NICE MAN,
then how did He RAISE up from the dead so many humans? And
how did 500 men see Jesus alive after He died on that Cross?
God's Son Alive!  See the end of First Corinthians, Jesus came to save
ALL who repent for sins.  Romans 5  LIFE:   For
    we cannot STOP needing God's forgiveness for sins,
    cannot be righteous without Him.


READING AFTER VERSE 2:    Acts 14:2
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

 IF JESUS WAS REALLY JUST SOME HUMAN,
If Jesus Christ was  NOT   really GOD REDEEMING US, then
Jesus lied and deceived all of us with the cruelest hoax of all,
crushing our HOPE, but the TRUTH is His death on a Cross CAN save us
from HELL for our sins. One look at us and it makes sense:   For
    we cannot STOP needing God's forgiveness for sins,
    cannot be righteous without Him.


READING AFTER VERSE 3:    Now Jesus could do NO mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a FEW sick people and healed them.  And He marveled because of their unbelief...”

4 
IF JESUS WAS REALLY JUST SOME HUMAN,
then you and I most truly will die in our sins.  You've
seen all the evidence in YOUR life:  You just CAN'T stop sinning, and you
can't be forgiven without praying Romans 10, verse 9:   Name Jesus YOUR Lord.
No, He's NOT just “some man.”  You can escape HELL by praying:
    You  cannot STOP needing God's forgiveness for sins,
    cannot be righteous without Him.


READING AFTER VERSE 4:    John 20: 29 to 31:  Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."     
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;  but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
 
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
      Jesus tells us through Matthew 10:16,  “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.  Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” 
      In the next 2 verses, Jesus tells how you will be persecuted for speaking God's Word.  Then in Matthew 10:19 and 20, He gives the Greatest of Hope for those of us who pray for James 1:5 wisdom but still are aware of how poorly we often think and speak:
    “Do not worry about how or what you should speak.  For it will be GIVEN to you in that hour, what you should speak:  For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.”
    Sadly,  people who say Jesus was a great man do not have the HOPE of eternal life with Him, for there is NO forgiveness for our sins if Jesus did not pay the penalty for them.  Only Jesus is the perfect sacrifice, as God explains to us through Romans 5 through 9.  In the words of Jesus in Matthew 10: 31 through 33 plus 38  to 39:
    “Do NOT FEAR, therefore; you are of more value than MANY sparrows.  Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  BUT -- whoever DENIES Me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven... He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.  He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”
