Jesus Christ: his desecration

Jesus Christ: his desecration by ric gustafson


Proverbs 22:1 says if a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches. Jesus is the only Son of God. He was spotless, one perfect lamb to take away our sins. In Matthew 11:18-19 Jesus's foes said that he was a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.
Jesus was slandered since he was born. It began with his birth when Mary became pregnant before she was married. Luke 5:31-32 says that Jesus came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Jesus was slandered for delivering people from demons. Jesus was slandered for not keeping the Sabbath and saving others but could not save himself. In the end, all that mattered was that God said to his Son,this is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.
