Jesus Is So Amazing

When you study His life and ministry—especially through the epistles—you'll be amazed at the kind of person He truly was.

No wonder the disciples once looked at Jesus and asked each other, "Who is this?"
They clearly realized they didn’t really know Him as deeply as they thought.

I mean, how can you explain this?

Judas Iscariot leads a group of six hundred armed Roman soldiers and Temple police officers to arrest Jesus. Peter pulls out his dagger and slashes the high priest's servant's ear—Malchus.

But what did Jesus do?

He laid His hand on the young man’s bleeding ear—and created a new earlobe for him.

This was a man sent to arrest Him, yet Jesus healed and restored his ear.

Jesus wasn't bitter. Even in the face of betrayal, He still loved.

But that’s not all.

On the cross, just before taking His last breath, He looked over those heartless Roman soldiers who had mercilessly beaten Him and prayed,
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

And then there’s Peter—who not once or twice, but three times, denied ever knowing Jesus or having anything to do with Him.

Yet as soon as Jesus rose from the dead, the first person He remembered was the very one who denied Him. And He went out of His way to restore and reinstate him.

Jesus is altogether lovely.
This is why you can’t truly know Him and not fall in love with Him.

He is so wonderful!
