Good Morning,
Today's Writing is by Corinne Mustafa and is titled. "Ecce Homo...BEHOLD THE MAN." The theme is that many people saw Jesus while he was on earth, and they all saw something different. In the end there is only one truth, and what people think do not change it. However, what we think and say about anything carries weight in all the places we find ourselves. There are eight examples of the thoughts of people who actually saw Jesus. Their diverse thoughts were believed by many who heard them whether they saw Jesus in person or not. People today hold the truth about Jesus or share thoughts that are held by dissenters. Corinne has a request. She wrote, " When you look at Jesus…when you “behold the man”…who do you see? In the days leading up to remembrance of the day Jesus died (this year Good Friday is April 14th), please spend some time thinking about whom you see and what He means to you."
In the days leading up to remembrance of the day Jesus died (this year Good Friday is April 14th), please spend some time thinking about whom you see and what He means to you.
Enjoy your week and be blessed by your thoughts about Jesus.
God bless
Corinne

"Ecce Homo...BEHOLD THE MAN"
Then Jesus came out,
wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.
And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
John 19:5
KJV
Pilate had washed his hands of the whole decision
about what to do with Jesus.
He did not have the courage to share what he knew.
He did not pay attention to his wife’s warning
that he should not condemn Jesus.
So he washed his hands.

Two
brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew saw Jesus and they
recognized that He was special. When Jesus said, "Come, follow Me, and I
will make you fishers of men." They followed Him.

Many
people saw Him as a teacher. They followed Him to learn how to live and how to
become holy.

The rabbis saw Him as a threat to their power.
They hated Him, feared Him, and conspired against Him.
When you look at
Jesus…when you “behold the man”…who do you see?

In the days leading up to remembrance of the day Jesus died (this
year Good Friday is April 14th), please spend some time thinking
about whom you see and
what He means to you. Pray a prayer of
praise and thanks to Jesus who brought
you salvation and eternal
life with Him.
