I must admit that I like to write the story, which makes me
feel, as I have accomplished something. I am not trying to fool anybody, into
thinking that I am a scholar. I just wasn’t to be well informed, about the post
that I publish each day. In my experience as the writer of this blog, I have
come to realize a few things.
The first thing is, there is a lot of propaganda on the
internet. Everything that we find on the web is not necessarily truth. A lot of
subjects can be proven, by both schools of thought, to be the truth.
Maybe it is the fact that I grow weary in my quest, and walk
away. Let’s take for instance this subject. I typed into my search engine this
question. “Is the United States the
Babylon in the Bible?” I thought that was a fair question, and just assumed,
there would be only one answer. Now out of roughly, one half a million
opportunities, that I had in which to choose the answer, that I thought was
best, I stayed on the first page.
Out of the first ten, seven of the answers were no, and the
other three were yes. Each one said that they could prove that their answer was
the right one. The bad part is that I have spent a lot of time, watching videos
depicting, that the United State is the Babylon of the Bible. Honestly, the
lifestyle that Americans live is close enough to make a person wonder.
There comes a time in each one of our lives, which we will have
to decide, the answer to the question that Pilate asked. (John 18:38) What is truth? The truth is a hard item to
find in most places. In the courtroom when giving testimony, we are to swear to
tell the truth. Even though, we place our hand, on the Bible and swear to tell
the truth, often times, it is not hard to tell, when a person is lying.
Is the truth what we are doing, while we are telling, little
white lies? If those are white, then what color are the rest of them? Back in
my day, I could tell you a whole rainbow of lies!! Moving on….
I love Jesus!! He was a very radical person. There was a
statement that He made, that was severe, cutting edge stuff!! John
14:6 Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Is that radical or what? Can you imagine a person making a
statement like that? Jesus showed up on the scene, proclaiming to be the Son of
God, and making a statement like that. I can tell you right now, there was a
reason that I was not around, while Jesus was walking on the earth. I would
have been an excellent Pharisee, and nothing would slide by me!!
Two thousand and thirteen years after the fact, I am good with
it!! Do you want to know how good, that I am? I have put all my eggs in one
basket. I have pushed, all my chips, into the middle of the table. I have hopped
off the fence, and I have placed my very soul, into the hands of Jesus. I am
sold out!!
I believe every word that Jesus says. I accept Him as the only
way, for my life. I accept Jesus as the only, solid, truth, which I will never
find to be, in a compromising situation. Since I’ve known Him, for a couple
days in my life, He is life, and life more abundant!! I truly understand what
He meant, by saying those words.
Do you understand what it really means to fully take this word
from Jesus? There are a lot of things in the world today, which are being
disguised as fun. It does have an edge, or hint of fun at it, but it is nothing
but white wash. The first time that it gets wet, it starts to show the true
color that was hidden underneath.
I believe that one verse is a map to our Salvation. We were all
born with something inside of us missing. It is not a defect, but a choice
mechanism. There is something missing, and we have the choice of filling it
with what is missing. We often try to fill it with all kinds of things that
just don’t work.
Jesus tells us that He is the way. We have a lot of different
choices, of the way that we are going to go. What makes Jesus the right choice?
Where is His way going to lead us?
Jesus is the only choice that will fit into this missing area
within us. He is the perfect fit. If we try to stuff anything else inside of
us, it creates pain. The second question is a great question!! Jesus is leading
us back to the Father, Our Creator!! We have been lost, or separated from
Father by sin. Jesus has a solution. Don’t you love a plan when it comes together?
Jesus is truth. Every Word of Jesus is truth. Jesus can’t lie,
because there is no deception to be found in Him. If we trust Him, as the only
way. We should have little trouble trusting Him as the truth, but we often do.
We are like Peter. We take our eyes off of Jesus, and immediately start
sinking!! However, Jesus is always there with His hands stretched towards you,
beckoning you to grab ahold.
It is funny how we perceive the notion at we are alive, when we
really didn’t have anything to compare with. Once you accept Jesus. I guess
that I need to make this very personal. Once I really accepted Jesus, as the
way, and the truth, only then did I receive life. I am always seeing how, that
I was totally dead without Him. Paul was very accurate when he said that we
were dead in our sin. Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is
dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. I did not even have a clue what life was about, or how good that
it can be.
……..Much Love
