“Whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven…” Jesus
The other day someone told me that he was choosing to not live his life by a book that was written by men centuries ago but was choosing instead to worship the God of love that Jesus spoke about. The book they were referring to was of course the Bible. It is interesting that everything this person knows about Jesus or any of his teachings about life and God come from this very book. It is even more interesting to realize that Jesus told his followers to live by the Book. It does little good to point out how God’s people have struggled to do this or the problems it causes each of us. The point is if you are going to call yourself, a follower of Jesus, follow Him. This does not mean that we will not have difficulties reconciling the Old and New Testament to each other, or what they teach with our lives today. It does mean that we need that singular attitude which is demanded of everyone who comes to Jesus, “Not my will but your will be done.” 6/29/2010 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
