God the Son
Son of God - Son of Mary *
God spoke through the prophets and foretold of liberation for all His people, He promised a new way of life, something similar to the first liberation of the Israelites from the slavery of the Egyptians.

When the time had arrived according to the Divine Providence the awaited Messiah came into the world, born of the Blessed Virgin Mary and conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

He did not come in the splendour and greatness we would assume such an unprecedented event should take place, He came unannounced except to Mary and Joseph, He was not welcome then, just as He is not welcome now. The Virgin with child and St. Joseph looked everywhere, they knocked on many doors but they were rejected.

This holy virgin specially gifted with the Grace of God and this child of Mary who happens to be God, continue to be rejected by so many even now.

He was born in a cold cave which resembles the hearts of men cold in the faith, He was born in total poverty which He expects of those in whom He is born spiritually, meaning detachment from materialism and all the things of the world. He was born in a silent night, unknown to everyone except to some humble shepherds and three wise men from other cultures who were given the knowledge of this event.

Jesus God the Son has come to save the humble, the poor, those who accept His Wisdom not that of the world, He has come to those who accept that they are sick and need his healing, He has come silently to those who reject the world and decide to come to Him, He has come to those who accept His humanity as well as His Divinity, therefore He comes very lovingly to those who accept Mary with the dignity of the Mother of God and also as their mother.

He came proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven, asking everyone to repent, to turn away from evil and to come to God through Him. [Matthew 4:17] He said: no one can come the Father except through me. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. [John 14:6] As a great teacher, He taught us how to live for Him and how to love God by loving others.

He finally died for our sins, suffering the most horrible death, experiencing the most cruel pains and He did all this out of His infinite Love for us sinners. He resurrected on the third day having His victory over sin and death.

He founded HIS Church on one of His Apostles, Peter the rock. He gave the apostles and His Church the Power to forgive sins, He instituted the Sacraments as our encounters with Him.

Baptism is the Sacrament of initiation, through it we enter into Jesus Christ God the Son and die in His resurrection, Confession is the Sacrament of healing and by order of the risen Christ [John 20:23] we confess our sins and obtain absolution, The Eucharist is a memorial of His death by which which we announce His death and proclaim His Resurrection. As we receive the Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion, we eat the true body of Christ and drink His true blood. [John 6:53]

We also encounter the Lord in the Sacrament of Confirmation which is the laying of the hands of the Bishop on one's head to confirm our faith and to receive the Holy Spirit in a special way, there is also the Sacrament of Holy Orders to officially accept new priests into the Church, the Sacrament of Matrimony to unite a man and a woman sacramentally in marriage and also the anointing of the sick.

Jesus is our Lord, our God, our Saviour, The Messiah, the Redeemer, The King of Kings, The Alpha and the Omega, the Good Shepherd and much more. Jesus is God, Jesus reigns, Jesus is Alive.

He did not leave us orphans in fact He left us His mother to be our mother [John 19:27], He also sent the Holy Spirit Who is His Spirit and the Spirit of the Father to stay with us teaching us, consoling us and making us cry Abba which means Father.

We could write many books about Jesus, but the purpose of this work is to teach us mainly about His gift to us, the Holy Spirit.
