The Way - Part 03

What is do I mean by "Jesus in the Details"?

Jesus said very clearly "You shall know the truth, and it shall make you free", "I am the way, the truth and the Life", and also "No one can come to the Father except through me"

He also had a lot more to say. Have you read it? The only way to life is through Jesus according to him. Either it's true or he's a liar. Don't trust me, or any man on this. Read it for yourself! Talk to God and expect him to communicate with you as well. Want proof? Try it, and God will supply all the proof you need in the time you need it (which may not be the same as when you want it)

All major religions either agree that Jesus was a major prophet, a good man, an influential teacher. But many do not agree that he was the Son of God. God come to earth walking in human shoes to save us from ourselves.

However, that cannot be. Jesus Christ either was the worst fraud and liar ever to appear on earth, or he was exactly who and what he claimed to be. After one considers deeply and honestly the things he said, one can come to no other conclusions!

This brings us to the good news! Really good news. Earlier in this writing I mentioned that wisdom and strength plus love is all we need to have Joy in our lives. It's true, but we cannot psych it up for ourselves. However we can rely on, and acquire the strength and wisdom that Jesus Christ came to impart to us, and now, having been resurrected back to life so that we can be too, Jesus continues to seek to share with us if we will only accept it as his free gift to us. He came not only to set us free from the results of our own bad choices provided we turn around and start making new choices, but to enable us to make the right choices, and reap the benefits. Also to give us the power to overcome all that tries to come against us in this new life.

As with any gift, we still have to go where it is, pick it up, take off the wrapper and use it as it is intended to be used!

We are expected to believe because of the results in our lives of doing so. That is the proof! If we don't have results yet, then the stories of others who do can be examples for us, both contemporary, and historical, especially biblical. We need to be sure to write down the results in our own lives (keep a journal) as they happen so that we don't forget when we hit hard times. Memory can be a tricky thing.

We definately should not be hypocrites telling others to do, all the while hoping that it will make us look like we believe. Rather we need to seek to become more like Jesus, so that we can see his results coming from our lives because we trust, believe and come to love him. Knowing that he indeed cares about each of us personally.

More to come! Sorry it is taking so long. We write on specific topics as we are inspired to. In the meantime please feel free to navigate the various links and sections in the right hand menu bar. There are already well over 1000 pages of great material on this site.
