On My Son, Jesus

My Child,

I see you. I see the questions in your heart, the wonder in your eyes when you think about My Son, Jesus. Perhaps you've heard many stories about Him, or maybe you're just starting to learn who He truly is. No matter where you are, I want to talk to you about Him, because He is very dear to Me, and I want Him to be dear to you, too.

From the very beginning, even before I laid out the stars and painted the mountains, Jesus was with Me. He is not just a good man, or a prophet, or a teacher, though He was all those things. He is My Son, truly and fully God, just as I am. This might be a big thought, but think of it this way: He is the perfect reflection of Me. When you look at Jesus, you are seeing My heart, My character, My love. He didn't just know Me; He is Me, in a way that is hard to fully explain with human words, but it is true.

I sent Him to earth because I love you so much. The world you live in, the beautiful world I made, got broken by sin – by people choosing their own way instead of My good way. This separation from Me hurt My heart, just like it hurts a parent when their child is far away. But I had a plan, and that plan was Jesus. He came not to scold you, but to save you. He came to show you what true life looks like, a life lived close to Me.

He walked the earth, and everything He did was filled with My Spirit and My love. He healed the sick, comforted the sad, fed the hungry, and taught everyone about My kingdom – a place of peace, justice, and unending love. He showed perfect kindness, perfect patience, and perfect obedience to Me, His Father. He never once stumbled or chose His own way over Mine. He lived the life you and I cannot live perfectly.

And then, My child, He did the hardest thing of all. He gave His life. He allowed Himself to be nailed to a cross, not because He deserved it, but because you and all humanity deserved to be rescued from the power of sin and death. He carried all the wrong choices, all the pain, all the separation onto Himself, so that you wouldn't have to. It was a dark, terrible day, but it was also the greatest act of love the world has ever seen.

But that's not where the story ends! Three days later, I raised Him from the dead. Death could not hold My Son! His rising proved that everything He said was true, and that My plan to defeat sin and death had worked. Now, because of Jesus, anyone who believes in Him and chooses to follow Him can be forgiven. They can be made clean, and they can have a fresh start, a new life, a new spirit – and most wonderfully, they can be brought back into a close, loving relationship with Me. This is the greatest gift I could ever give you: a way back home to My heart.

Jesus is now seated at My right hand in heaven, and He is praying for you, waiting for the day He can come back and take all who believe in Him to be with Me forever. He is not far away; He is always near, through My Spirit, who lives in the hearts of those who trust Him. When you pray, when you seek Me, you are always welcome through Him. He is the bridge, the way, the truth, and the life.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, My child. He is the clearest picture of My love for you. He is the reason you can come to Me with all your hopes and all your fears. He is your Savior, your Friend, and your Lord. And He is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Remember that My Son, Jesus, is not just a story from long ago. He is alive today, and He cares deeply about you. Everything He did, He did out of love – My love flowing through Him to you. When you feel lost or unsure, look to Him. When you need forgiveness or strength, ask Him. He is always there, always ready to welcome you, because He knows My heart for you, and His heart is one with Mine.

I love you, Your Father who awaits you.
