Have you ever wondered about life and it’s meaning? Have you looked for answers? I have and will continue to do so. The problem I have found is that those who think have found the answers put conditions on your search, like “You must do this and then…”. If you take the religion of Christianity some may say that you must say the sinners prayer and then God will accept you. This can be a problem especially those who cannot identify with sin in their life, and genuinely feel that they are good people anyway. There are others who try to scare you to believe – “If you do not turn from your sin then you will go to Hell. Wow that is some statement especially to a stranger. Some will tell you that you need to change your lifestyle as it is incompatible with Christianity. But if you got a microscope and looked at everyone’s lives, no one would be worthy. Everyone has something they hide from others.
I look on things as a journey, and things influence our lives, the good, the bad, happy times and painful times. Jesus’ main invitation found in his teachings is to simply ‘Follow Him’. Nothing else, no conditions, it’s up to you! But if you do take up this challenge and journey with Jesus your life will change, and you will want to change. You will want to find out what he really said, thought and did, and you will want to do the same.
If you have been hurt by Christians, I am really sorry. Despite this, would you look at Jesus again, not through the eyes of Christians, but through what is actually said about him in the gospels in the Bible (Sections called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).
Thank you for listening
May God bless you.
