What Is My Life Without Jesus?

Do you know what is the purpose why you are living?  Do you have a clear meaning and direction in life?  What do you think man's life without Jesus?  These are some of the very important questions man should know and needs to experience personally to live victoriously in life.

In the book of Matthew 1:18-25 is a true to life story that was written in the bible - our true foundation on how to understand the meaning of life.

Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, a righteous man and from the line of David.  And upon knowing that Mary is conceiving a baby, he decided to divorce her secretly to protect her from disgrace and penalty of the law of Moses as death to all who commit an adultery of marital unfaithfulness.  Joseph didn't know that the baby in Mary's womb came not because of having a marital unfaithfulness but because of the power of the Holy Spirit.

And in a dream, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph and said to him take Mary home for what she conceived is from the Holy Spirit.  Mary will born a child and you will give him a name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins  verses 18-21.  This was the fulfillment of the prophecy written 700 years ago in the book of Isaiah 7:14 that says, The virgin will conceive and give birth  to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means, "God with us".  Joseph accepted  the words of God through the angel and took Mary home and took care for her

until she gave birth to Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem.

The people of Israel were patiently waiting for the fulfillment of that prophecy as the time that they will be liberated from the hands of the mighty and cruel Roman government.  They were waiting for the coming of the Messiah.  But the word of God through the angel has cleared clearly that the name Jesus means, in verse 21 as "he will save his people from their sins" and not from the cruel hands of the Roman Empire.  It is spiritual salvation that will surely change even the crooked governance of the Roman government.  The root cause of Jesus birth was to liberate men from the power and punishment of sin.  For the wages of sin is death - both physical and spiritual or eternal separation of men from the presence of God and will experience eternal punishment, agony, and pain in hell Romans 6:23.  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23.  Man's effort and self-righteousness are not enough to satisfy the holiness of God.  God's holiness demands punishment that only the blood of his only Son Jesus can truly satisfy the magnitude of sin and of the holiness of God.

Holiness demands holiness.  And without holiness, no one can see God, for God is holy I Peter 1:16 The hope of Israel's spiritual salvation or hope is Jesus and this is the meaning of his name.  God has answered the root cause of the problem of men of sin that leads to death and punishment through the birth of Jesus. And if God didn't send his only Son on earth to be born to die, what then is the meaning of life and surely, there is no salvation or hope in men.  What man shall it profit if he loses his soul? Mark 8:36  If man has no salvation or hope, what is the meaning of life? Man is going to nowhere. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish in hell, but to have eternal life in heaven"  John 3:16.  "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus" Romans 6:23. 

Friends, we are so blessed cause God has solved our impossible and incurable sickness or sin through Jesus, the reason why we have Christmas.  God's great love was shown and given to men more than two thousand years ago when He sent Jesus to be born of Mary to die on the cross once and for all for the forgiveness of sin Romans 6:10  Jesus is the only acceptable payment or solutions to meet the standard of God's holiness or else all of us will surely be with Satan and all his evil angels and followers in hell for eternity - a place of agony, pain, and hopelessness.  "The thief or Satan came to steal, to kill and to destroy but Jesus came on earth to give us life and to have this more abundantly" John 10:10  Don't be deceived, Satan is so clever and deceitful.  Many are ignoring the salvation that is offering of God through Jesus but many are still desiring to have more material things than to accept the precious gift of God.  Open your eyes and mind.  Satan is killing people softly through pleasures, sensuality, love of money, power and others rather than God.  If you are wise, you will chose the best of the best in life, no other than Jesus.  Turn away from your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today as the only sure way to have a meaningful life here and after this life.
