Jesus came into the world and the Bible tells us that He had no beauty or majesty that could attract or captivate people, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
 
Isaiah 53:2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.

Isaiah 53:3 ​He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Our Savior came into the world as an extremely ordinary man, so that there was no possibility of people being attracted to Him by their appearance, but rather, were attracted by the true Word of God that He preached.

PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD WAS JESUS' GREAT STRATEGY to convert multitudes and nations to God.

Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

The more I preach the Word of God the more I feel convinced that the GREAT STRATEGY OF THE CHURCH TO WIN SOULS FOR CHRIST IS THE PREACHING OF THE WORD OF GOD.

Not the word of interests or the biased word, but the PURE AND POWERFUL MESSAGE OF THE GOSPELS.

Jesus used this strategy, combined with the use of the power of God, performing miracles and signs of wonders and we have at our disposal these same "WEAPONS", that is, the WORD OF GOD and the POWER OF GOD, which must be used by us, in the authority given by Jesus to do the same works and to do the same signs that Jesus did.

Luke 11:29 When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.

JOHN 14:12 TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL ALSO DO THE WORKS THAT I DO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE WILL HE DO, BECAUSE I AM GOING TO THE FATHER.

BELIEVE IT!

The Lord bless you and keep you.
