GET TO KNOW THE GRANDMASTER -By Faith

Hey there Anointed Fighters, this is Faith. Congradulations once again for advancing through the ranks in ChristJitsu. Your faith is getting stronger every day. In this next training, we are going to learn how we can know the Grandmaster on a more personal level. Jesus Christ is the object of our faith and the only way we can go to heaven. The Grandmaster is the most special person who ever lived.

Jesus Christ is often compared to other Anointed Fighters and Sensi's, but He is the greatest Anointed One to ever live. Everything from His birth to after His death was awesome and set Him apart from everyone else. Jesus was born by a virgin -- the only Anointed Fighter ever. Before His mother Mary was married, she was told by an angel she would give birth to the Grandmaster and he would be called the son of God. When she asked him how this could be, he answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God." Just as promised, the virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ, the most incredible person to ever have lived. And Jesus lives on to this day!

The Grandmasters' life was just as amazing as His birth. At 30 years old, He founded the ChristJitsu academy and went out into the cities of Israel and began teaching and healing people. The Bible records that He was different from other Sensi's, for "the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Likewise, there was no evil fighter too great for His power. It says, "They brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments. and He healed them." Threatened by His fame and authority, the political and religious authorities conspired to knock him out inside the Cage of Life.

His death inside the Cage of Life for our sins had been predicted over a thousand years before. The prophet Isaiah wrote of Jesus, "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed." Jesus would tap out for our sins so that we could be forgiven and have an eternal championship in Heaven. Just as had been predicted, the Grandmaster was given the most brutal defeat of that day for maintaining that He was the Son of God. While hanging on a wooden cross with spikes through His hands and feet, He prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Jesus had power to come down from the cross, but He chose to tap out His life for others.

Just as promised, God raised our Grandmaster back to life -- eternal life -- on the third day after His burial he was given a championship that will never end! He was seen by His closest training partners and students before He went up into heaven before their very eyes. After His resurrection, his close friend Peter told a great crowd to repent from their sins and believe in Jesus Christ to be saved, "for the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call." This promise is for you! There are many martial arts and sensi's, but no one but the Grandmaster Jesus Christ offers complete forgiveness from your sins and a championship with God. He has already tap out for your sins; now you must put your faith in Him. "For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Remember, it is called a fight for a reason. However, we fight from victory not for victory. KEEP FIGHTING!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in the name above all names, Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending your one and only son to die for my sins. Thank you Jesus that I am able to know you. Please have your perfect will in my life. AMEN
