Jesus, the desire of all nations.

Jesus. That simple name, though it be varied in the many languages of men, represents the hope of mankind.

Proud men have tried from the beginning to deny that their real spiritual hope could be found in only One man...the Word, the Son of God made flesh. Scientific theories abound that endeavor to discredit the revelation of scripture to men. But the apostle Paul sets all this falsehood to rest in one sentence. Rom 1:1-4  Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh, who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord; YLT.

No one can truly discredit the supernatural proof of over 300 Old Testament prophecies that foretell, with intricate detail, the life of Christ, hundreds, even thousands of years in advance. God has left us without excuse, but not without hope. (Rom 5:8)  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

God does not approach us with condemnation. He has come to our rescue with tender sympathy in Christ. Friend...are you struggling with a load of guilt, a life of doubts, the burden of inadequacies?God loves you and has made a complete rest for you in Christ. Come to Him each day. Lay your burdens at His feet. He is a tender loving Father who delights to make His children happy. You are accepted in the Beloved. Use the faith He has made possible to you. Talk with God as with a tender Father and friend. His plans for you are beyond anything you could hope for.
(Isa 49:15)  Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.(Isa 49:16)  Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Christ died for all nations and all people. All are called to be His sons and daughters.
