I was just listening to a message in which the speaker was talking about when he got saved. He said something that really struck me - he said, "when I looked to Jesus, who He is and what He did, how could I look back and pursue my sin - I was not going to look back, but continue to look to Jesus." (paraphrase)

If we keep our eyes on Christ we will have victory over sin. So, as I considered this man's words, I wrote what I know about Jesus. I am sure I will miss much, but this is what I wrote:

- He is the Creator

-He is the Savior

What did it take for Him to save?

1) Left His Heavenly Throne

2) Born of a woman and grew up in this fallen, wicked world

3) Be tempted in every way - including the irreverent temptations from Satan

4) Be mocked

5) Be spit upon

6) Have His beard pulled out
