A Man Named Jesus

 


December 25th is the day that many people around the world commemorate the birth of Jesus (Savior), the Christ (Messiah). While historians are unsure of Jesus’s exact birthdate, they agree that Jesus was a real preacher whose ministry started in early AD. There are also people who have faith that Jesus was more than a minister or prophet. They believe that he was God’s only begotten son who was sent to Earth to redeem humankind’s relationship with Him. Moreover, Jesus was sent to teach people the truth about God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth because religious leaders had distorted His image and the meaning of true spirituality. Most importantly, Jesus was born to save people from their sins and eternal damnation.

Whatever your religious affiliation, you have absolutely nothing to lose by studying the life and teachings of Jesus, namely in the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) of the Holy Bible. It’s critical though that you pray for wisdom, understanding, and discernment prior to your study. It is just as crucial that you open your heart and mind to learn and grow spiritually. Remember, God is not a gangster; He doesn’t spiritually highjack you or force you to believe in Him. No, God is the ultimate gentleman who patiently and lovingly waits for you to open your heart for Him to reside.

 As you begin and continue your life-transforming study of Jesus’s life, ask God for wisdom on how to apply the lessons you are gleaning. The Bible is not a book written to you. However, it is a compilation of true stories about what people did during a certain period of time in history and God’s interaction with those people. Therefore, you must seek out the principles in each story. When you get quiet, reflect, and meditate on what you have read, the Holy Spirit will customize the lessons according to your own personal needs. When you apply what Jesus taught, your life will be constructively transformed forever. You will experience greater love, peace, joy, and so much more.  

To know Jesus is to know unconditional love; when there is no Jesus, there is no love. Try and experience for yourself the power of Jesus. Your connection and your acceptance of him as your Savior will lead to eternal life.

With love,

Redemption Is Possible: What To Do When We Make Mistakes

Image
  “Change begins at the end of your comfort zone.”—Roy T. Bennett What should we do when we make a mistake? How do we correct our wrongs? Since the past cannot be changed, undone, or reversed, we must learn how to shift our focus from the past and concentrate on repairing, restoring, and redeeming ourselves in the present and the future. We must take intentional action to heal hurtful things we've said or done. Redemption begins with first taking full responsibility for our actions. We cannot make excuses for any challenges we’ve endured, even the ones that happened beyond our control. The only way to be free from guilt is by accepting that consequences are the results of our own actions. Denying, trivializing, or minimizing the pain we cause only delays our liberation from the prison of shame. No one forces us to do bad things. Taking ownership means the power is in our hands to change and redeem ourselves. We must also forgive ourselves. We must release the negative emoti
