About A Jigsaw Puzzle With A Map Of The World On One Side
And A Picture Of Jesus On The Other Side

     A father told his four year old little daughter to put together a jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle was a map of the world in sections on one side and a picture of Jesus on the other side. The four year old little girl put the puzzle together in just one minute. Her daddy was amazed. She had all the continents in the right place; (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica).

     The little girl's daddy asked her how did you put the puzzle together so fast and so correctly? The little girl replied Daddy I didn't know what the world looked like but on the other side of this map there was a big picture of Jesus. Then the little girl said I put Jesus together and the whole world turned out right. Like this little girl when Jesus completes your life with salvation, peace, and joy the whole world will turn out right. Jesus promised us at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Right now like the little girl get saved with victory over this troubled world; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

Praise Jesus For His Blessed Accomplishments Listed Below

     Jesus was born contrary to the laws of life. Jesus lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity. He did not travel extensively. Only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived to escape Herod, fleeing to Egypt as a little child. He possessed neither name, wealth, or influence in his early years. His relatives were uninfluential and inconspicuous (brothers James Joses, Juda, and Simon with His sisters listed at Mark 6:3) who did not receive salvation until after Jesus' resurrection (note that Acts 1:14 says Jesus' brethren got saved continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication after Jesus' resurrection).

     During Jesus' infancy, He startled King Herod. During Jesus' childhood, He puzzled the doctors. During Jesus' manhood, He ruled the course of nature by calming a storm with just three words (Peace Be Still) where the raging waves layed down like sleeping dogs at His feet and the winds howling like maniacs began to whisper softly like babes in sweet sleep.

     Jesus healed the multitudes without medicine and made no charges for His services. Jesus never wrote a book but yet all the books in the world could not tell all that He did while He was on this earth. Jesus never wrote a song but He's furnished the theme for more songs than all the other songs written in this world. 

     Jesus never founded a college but all the schools put together cannot boast as many students as He does. Jesus never practiced medicine but He's healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near. Jesus never marshaled an army nor drafted a soldier nor fired a gun, yet no leader ever had more volunteers who obeyed His orders and made rebels stack arms and surrender without a shot being fired. 

He's Jesus; He's King; He's Lord of lords
His Name Is Jesus That Is The Name Above All Names



A Sermon Exalting Jesus
Read Below How Jesus Is Exalted In Nature

     Jesus is the Rock of geology. When the world around you is crumbling, Jesus is the Rock on which you can stand. 1 Corinthians 10:4 says And did all drink the same spiriitual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Jesus is the lion and the lamb of the zoological kingdom stated at Revelation 5:5-6. Jesus is the greatest star of astronomy. 

     Jesus is the revealer of secrets. Jesus is the quickener of all that is wholesome. Jesus is the adorner of all that is beautiful. Jesus is the reconciler of all that is contradictory. Jesus is the harmonizer of all discords. Jesus is the healer of all diseases. Jesus is the Saviour of all men who put their faith and trust in Him. 

     The names of past scientists, philosophers, and theologians have come and gone. But the name of Jesus abounds more and more where Jesus lives on forever and ever. Herod couldn't kill Him. Satan couldn't seduce Him. And death couldn't hold Him. Jesus stands forth on the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory proclaimed by God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints, and feared by devils, where Jesus is the preeminent God with a name above all names. Colossians 1:18 tells us And He (Jesus) is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He might have the preeminence.

     Jesus is everywhere in the bible. What the hub is to the wheel, the Lord Jesus is to the Word Of God; It all revolves around Him. All of its types and prophecies point to Jesus; All of its truths converge in Jesus; All of its glories reflect Jesus; All of its promises radiate from Jesus; All of its beauties are embodied by Jesus; All of its demands are exemplified by Jesus; All of its predictions are fulfilled by Jesus. 

     Jesus was Abel's Lamb (Genesis 4:4); Jesus was Abraham's ram when Isaac was offered up on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:13); Jesus was the brazen serpent lifted up by Moses in the wilderness (Numbers 21:8); Jesus was the scapegoat who carried away our sins into the wilderness to be forgotten forever (Leviticus 16:21); Jesus was the scarlet thread that the harlot Rahab hung in the window to testify that God would have mercy on her home (Joshua 2:18-19); Jesus ate with Abraham in the desert tent and sent two angels into Sodom to get Lot out of bondage (Genesis 18:1-2 and Genesis 19:1).

     Jacob called Jesus the Lawgiver of Israel (Genesis 49:10); Moses said Jesus was the Prophet that was to come like unto me (Deuteronomy 18:15); Job called Jesus My Living Redeemer (Job 19:25); Daniel called Jesus the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9); Jeremiah called Jesus the Lord My Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6); And at Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah called Jesus Wonderful, Counsellor; The Mighty God; The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace; Micah tells the place of His birth at Bethlehem Ephratah (Micah 5:2); The book of Jonah tells of His death burial, and resurrection; Amos told of His second advent (Amos 9:11-15); and Ezekial gives us a picture of the millenial temple (Ezekial Chapters 40-48).  


A Little Humor Below About A Preacher And A Cop To Make You Smile

     An old preacher was speeding down the road when a cop pulled him over. The cop told the preacher What's that bottle between your legs? The preacher replied That's only water officer. The cop said Let me see that and when the cop smelled it he said Whew! water nothing; preacher that's wine. The preacher replied Praise the Lord He done did it again. Jesus turned the water into wine.
