| The Personality of Jesus |
| There have been many movies made about The Messiah…. |
| Most unfortunately, leave you with a picture of a Man who was so pious, that His HAIR didn`t even get messed up on a windy day. |
| That was NOT the Messiah Who walked among us almost 2000 years ago. |
| And even more unfortunate, is that far too many people actually believe that The Son of Man really was the boring, somber, preacher that the cinema has portrayed. |

| Ready for a wonderful revelation ?!!! |
| First of all, His trade growing up was as a carpenter. So by all means, He would have been a "strong" man with developed muscles and callused hands. So this throws out the image of someone who was "wimpy". |
|
| Secondly, and most relevant to the topic of this page, was that He was Someone Who was |
| a JOY to be around ! |
|
| Messiah was someone who ALWAYS seemed to have a crowd around Him…. |
| WANTING to be close to Him ! |
| Now really think about this……. |
| Would a CROWD be hanging around some guy who was |
| NO WAY !!! |
| vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv |
| The Messiah was POPULAR !!!! |
| vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv |
| You`ve heard about the miracle of the fish and loaves…. |
| Think about that ! |
| If He always had a crowd around Him - |

| Yes - Messiah is God |
| Yes - God is Holy |
| And there is to be a reverence (fear of God) that we need to realize. |
| He is the Potter - we are the clay. |
|
| But He also wants us to know that He does NOT want RELIGION with us ~ |
| He wants a personal relationship with us! |

| He has experienced, suffered, and delighted in life |
| just like you and me. |
| Messiah Jesus was and is a Man Of Joy |
| and |
| Messiah Jesus Loves You More Than You Can Comprehend ! |
