Acts 13:35. “Be it known unto therefore, men and brethren that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:”
THIS MAN #2. Right from the beginning of His public début, The uniqueness of the Savior was clear. His wisdom was heard; was seen in full view; The God-Man with all wisdom was here.
To see all that He did and hear all that He said; Made people wonder at the truths He did bring. From the time of His birth till He rose from the dead, They questioned how “This Man” did all these things.
“Never man spake like this Man,” some said when they came, For His words brought to them truth and life. Even Pilate, when he heard Him who men came to blame; Had to say, “This Man hath done nothing amiss.”
“No fault in this Man” was the verdict he passed, As before the mad crowd the judge stood. “Away with this Man” they shouted en`mass; When they rejected the Savior and Lord.
Even when “This Man” died on the cross in my place, The testimonies came so clear from men’s mouths A malefactor's words, “He has done nothing amiss;” Seemed to be ignored when they were heard by the crowds.
The centurion and those men who crucified Him; When they saw Him and heard what He said; Even though Christ-rejecters were all around them; Said, “Truly This Man is the Son of God.”
On-going today His influence still spreads, Wherever the Gospel is preached. “From This Man is preached the forgiveness of sins.” And world-wide many souls are reached.
Unseen to our eyes but made plain when we pray, Is an assurance that is best understood; Each act that we do and the words that we say; Is received by “This Man’s unchangeable priesthood.
“O God my Father in heaven, I am reminded that the One who came down from heaven, was the Son of Man and is now ascended into heaven. To be reminded of the fact that “This Man” was here among men, encourages me in presenting the Gospel because He knew what it was like when His words were ignored. But I am thankful to be assured again that His word is not going to return void or useless. Amen.”
