THE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF JESUS
Few pastors, preachers, and teachers, if any, know the true nature and character of Jesus Christ. For example, do pastors and preachers know the nature and character of Jesus? I doubt they know. I knew Him a long time ago when I read this, ”Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." Genesis 6:5-7. That was during Noah’s time, millennia ago.
When Jesus came to earth later this is what he said to His disciples, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.” John 7:7.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:29-30, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” I immediately recognize that YHWH is the same as Jesus Christ. The majority of Christians, however, don’t believe that Jesus Christ is the same as YHWH. Why? Because Jesus Christ was kind, loving, and not strict, whereas YHWH was strict, harsh, and demanding. Do you know why the difference? Because Jesus Christ was playing the role of the Son of God when He was on earth, whereas YHWH was playing the role of God. Do my readers now understand why they are different? If Jesus Christ was playing the role of Tempeh Man when He was on earth, no one wanted to follow Him. Tempeh Man was impatient, but he is working hard to be a patient man. He is working hard to be a patient teacher. Do you know why? Because he wants to live with Jesus. Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. Do you know why Jesus wants us to be perfect? Because He is perfect. Anyone who wants to live with Him must be perfect. If we want to live with Paul or Judas Iscariot, He doesn’t care whether we are perfect or not. If we want to live with Lucifer, He doesn’t care either whether we are perfect or not. But if we want to live with Him, we must be perfect. Matthew 5:48.

Finally, I want to remind my readers that perfection may take a lot of years to attain. I pray day and night that when Jesus returns He will find perfection in me, and I will find grace in His eyes.
