What is it about Jesus that draws so many to Him? For the Christians, we love Him beyond measure, but why? We read of the miracles, the healings, feeding of the thousands, His compassion and care for the people. Could that be it? What about Jesus fulfilling over 300 Old Testament prophecies? What about His sacrifice upon the cross? I believe that all of these things are part of it. Understanding who Jesus is, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Son of God, the Word of Life, the Way, and so much more. We paint pictures in our minds of who He is that we fell in love with and yet, according to the scriptures, He was an average man by appearance. It is written in *Isaiah 53:2  For He [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender shoot (plant), And like a root out of dry ground; He has no stately form or majestic splendor That we would look at Him, Nor [handsome] appearance that we would be attracted to Him.* For me, it has never been about what He wasn’t, it is all about who HE is and what He did. I am very thankful to Jesus for all that He did for me that I couldn’t do for myself. He paid a debt He didn’t owe, because I owe a debt that I can’t pay. God loved us so much that He became like us, so that we could learn what it takes to be more like Him. I know what drew me to Jesus, He has the face of love, a heart of compassion, He shows us grace, mercy, and forgiveness when we don’t deserve it, and has given all who trust in Him the free gift of salvation. C. S. Lewis said a long time ago, “A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else He would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
