| This
comes to you from a believer in Almighty God who is
concerned that we know and believe the truth about Huzrat
Isa, God's Messiah. The Arabic proverb warns us of the
danger of ignorance: "Blind in this world,
blind in the next." We must believe and be
certain about what God has told us about the Messiah
Jesus. If we refuse his light and prefer the ideas of men
we will be forever in the dark, in this life and the
hereafter. Many people are not sure who He was, many have
not be told the whole truth about this Unique Person.
Some claim to honour him as a prophet of God. If he is
merely a prophet how does one explain the following
facts? His Birth was Unique Ishmael is called the son of Abraham and John the son of Zachariah. People inherit their names from their fathers. Why then is Christ called the son of Mary? Why did He take His mother's name? It was because He had no earthly father. Hundreds of years before, the Prophets foretold that He would be born of a virgin. As the Prophet Isaiah wrote 700 years before Christ's miracle birth: "The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanual (that is, 'God with us')." Isaiah 7:14 God made Adam our father from clay, and all of us are children of Adam, even all the Prophets. We are of the earth: earthly. The Lord Jesus, however, came down from Heaven. He is called "Al Manzool", meaning "He who descended". He was pure and clean like the snow God sends. All others are like the earth: impure and unclean, stained by sin. Why was Christ born? What was his purpose? |
| Two men once
fell into a deep, slimy pit. One said to the other,
"Can't you do something to save me and get me out of
this dreadful hole ?" The other replied: "You idiot, how can I? I am in the same mess as you are!" They were both in the pit, and neither could help the other. Then they heard a voice from above calling them to grab hold of a rope. The man who wasn't in the pit was the only one who could help. Help came from above. |
| The very best among the Prophets could not save us from the pit of our sin, only the Holy, pure Lord Jesus who was born of a virgin. He came from above, from God's holy presence to rescue the helpless. To save sinners. He was born to save you and me. |
