Jesus defines this definition.
From birth to death, he was perfect.
As a child, man, teacher, friend, and King.
Perfect.
He had no flaws, no mishaps, no mistakes, no sin.
Impossible for another human to accomplish.
Because Jesus was fully God and fully man.
From his supernatural conception; Born of a lowly virgin woman, he was conceived. Pure.
“So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35
None like no other.
To his sacrificial death- of only three days.
“That the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.” Luke 24:7
“Father. I entrust my spirit into your hands.” Luke 23:46
To his faultless Resurrection.
“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee.” Luke 24:6
To his, “I will be back”, Ascension.
None like no other.
No room for improvement.
Perfection.
This Resurrection Sunday, let’s rejoice! For Jesus lived perfectly for us.
He lived so, because he knew we could not.
Let’s point people to his perfection.
Thank you Abba, Father for your obedience, sacrifice, and love.
