He\u2019s anything but boring and anemic because the Spirit of the Lord is upon him. He runs over with life and brings to life everyone he encounters. <\/strong>They didn\u2019t expect the Messiah to be like that. They thought the promised and anticipated Christ would liberate them from the Roman oppression to restore Israel to all its might. But what he offers is even better: Freedom for the whole world. Peace available for every seeking heart. Joy for every living being. A new kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A kingdom that is not from this world is breaking into our world. Unstoppable. With beauty and a calm, bright presence. He came to proclaim his kingdom. He became human, humbled himself, to glorify the Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who could resist the one who has the Spirit of the Lord resting upon him? Despite his countless arguments with his opponents, his outburst in the temple, and his radical attitude, we can\u2019t doubt his love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What great love! No one who ever tasted his love stays the same.<\/strong> His touch changes hearts, astonishes, and refreshes in ways the world doesn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing is more inspiring than his willingness to meet us on equal footing.<\/strong> He exists since the beginning, and everything was created through him. He, the king of kings, came to us to meet us face to face. The time stands still when he looks at us. Healing, transformation, joy, and peace all abound in his presence because the Spirit of the Lord is upon him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Evil can\u2019t stand in his powerful presence. Darkness doesn\u2019t have a hold on him and everyone who lives in his light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,<\/em> Colossians 1:13<\/p>\n\n\n\n What a great kingdom! And what a glorious God who rules. The sick get healed, sufferers find comfort, the oppressed get liberated, and the poor hear the Good News. He uplifts everyone who calls upon his name. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n He is the place where God dwells. He\u2019s the temple, where God stays. He is light that brightens everything around him because the Spirit of the Lord is upon him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He\u2019s probably closer to you than you know. The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of love, healing, and joy lives inside of everyone who confesses that he is Lord. The Spirit that is upon him lives on the inside of you <\/strong>(1. Corinthians 16:19). You\u2019re called to draw from the fullness of God\u2019s love through the power of his Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.<\/em> Isaiah 61:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord\u2019s favor has come.\u201d<\/em> Luke 4:18-19<\/p>\n\n\n\n His name is\u00a0Jesus Christ.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more blog posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My God, why have you forsaken me?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n God’s intentions for your life<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is the savior of the world<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you want to know how to study the Bible for yourself?
