Everyone Loves the Prince

In England in the Royal Family is Prince Andrew. There are many girls that are so enamoured with him that they worship him. But in the bible ther eis only one individual that we worship, and that is God.

We worship God because He is the creator of the world, and only He is worthy to be worshiped. When you read the Bible and look at the life of Christ, Christ had passion and compassion in the Bible.

There are two times when Jesus wept in the Bible. The first time was at the resurrection of Lazarus. What Mary and Martha failed to recognise was that Jesus was the resurrection and the life...then and there. It is said that Jesus was torubled in His spirit, and then he wept. Now the people misunderstood Jesus tears. Jesus wept because the people undstood that He was GOd and he came to bring life.

The second time when jesus wept was when he entered jerusalem for the last time. Jesus stopped them each time they wanted to crown , but at this time Jesus was preparing to become the Messiah and to die on the cross. Jesus was ready for the people to hail Him as the messiah, but as he came over the hill, all Jesus could see were the souls of the people who would fail to accept Him as saviour. Though we was about to die for all the sins of the world, there were still thousands upon thousands that would not accept him as their saviour.

John 13:1
“...having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.”

The Lord of all became a servant. We know that Jesus spent a lot of time talking to the disciples to prepare them for the dificult times they would have.
He talked about the Holy Spirit that would come to help them. He talked about the place that he was going to prepare for them. And He promised that he would come back to take them/us to heaven.

Then in John chapter 19 Jesus prayed that God would look after them after He had gone away.

And then jesus gave them a ceremony to help them remember all that Jesus had gone and done for us. That Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Universe loved us so much that he was willing to give up his body on the cross sso that we would be forgiven of our sins.
