I want to share again today from Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" devotional because it follows right after yesterday's!
For Further Meditation
"For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell" (Colossians 1:19).
The Word of God plainly teaches that our Redeemer is divine. These divine offices are ascribed to Him:
Creator (Colossians 1:16)
Mediator (1 Timothy 2:4-5)
Head of the Church (Colossians 1:16-24)
Savior (2 Peter 3:2)
Judge (2 Timothy 4:1)
Preserver (Hebrews 1:1-3)
Life-Giver (John 10:28)
Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36)
Resurrection and Life (John 11:25).
Divine character is ascribed to Christ. Ordinary men are sinners by nature, but Christ Jesus is not an ordinary man. He is:
Holy by Birth (Luke 1:35)
Righteous (Isaiah 53:11)
Faithful (Isaiah 11:5)
Truth (John 14:6)
Just (John 5:30)
Guileless (1 Peter 2:22)
Sinless (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Spotless (1 Peter 1:19)
Innocent (Matthew 27:4)
Harmless (Hebrews 7:26)
Obedient to God (Hebrews 5:8-10)
Obedient to Earthly Parents (Luke 2:51)
Zealous (John 2:17)
Meek (Matthews 11:29)
Lowly in Heart (Matthews 11:29)
Merciful (Hebrews 2:17)
Patient (Isaiah 53:7)
Long-Suffering (1 Timothy 1:16)
Compassionate (Matthew 15:32)
Benevolent (Acts 10:38)
Loving (John 15:13)
Self-Denying (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Humble (Philippians 2:5-11)
Resigned (Luke 22:42)
Forgiving (Luke 23:34)
Confession: Jesus Christ is worthy. Thank God for this Worthy One. Thank God for this Divine One. Thank God that One who is the Creator would come to earth from glory to be the Mediator, the Head of the Church, the Savior, the Judge, the Preserver, the Life-Giver, the Lord and Savior. And thank God, this Worthy One is my Lord.
