MORE THAN A NAME

   And she shall bring for a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:  for he shall save his people from their sins.  (Matthew 1: 21)
   That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  (Philippines 2: 10, 11)

   As stated before, Jesus is a person.  He is not to be confused as a religion, nor is He contained or controlled by any religious system.  He is not dead:  but alive and breathing, and He is sitting at the right hand of God the Father in Heaven.
   Jesus is not an idol:  as people make idols with their hands, or idols fashioned in their minds. 
   Jesus is not a trinket or a relic:  such as a ceramic baby Jesus, taken out of a shoebox and placed under a Christmas tree at Christmastime. 
   Jesus is not a baby:  not wrapped in his mother's arms to care and to protect Him from danger; but rather His mother is wrapped in His arms:  as He also wraps His arms around all people who place their faith in Him.
   For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:  and the government shall be upon his shoulder:  and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  (Isaiah 9: 6)
