Rejoice in the Lord ...

Philippians 4:4

Jesus cried when Lazarus died. He asked his Father, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me.” He knew he was going to save the world by dying for mankind. He came from a beautiful Heaven to earth to live among us as a man/God.

Jesus showed us how to be Spiritual by showing us how to pray.

“Our Father which art in Heaven.” Jesus prayed to his Father to heal those when he performed miracles. He set himself as an example to you and to me.

Jesus went from a little boy working with his father as a carpenter, to a thirteen-year-old, amazing those in the Temple. Yes, he was an intellectual, he was Jesus, “The Son of Man and the Son of God!”
