“I am the way and the truth
and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me.” Jesus of Nazareth
Life can be summed up in one
statement: We need Jesus!
There is so much that he
offers us- the freedom of forgiveness, new life, hope, peace, love, healing and
so much more…
Why not Jesus? The Pharisees couldn’t shut him up. He would just show up and do the impossible.
He would encounter people and
speak to the real need of their hearts and heal them physically, and
emotionally.
He called and chose men and
women to be in his inner circle. He did
not discriminate between Jews, Gentiles, or Samaritans. He visited all their homes and ate at their
dinner tables, content to be with sinners and saints. He was as one of them, a man.
He shared the same
weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and frailties as a human being but he offered up his
life as a perfect sacrifice; never doing any wrong, completely pure at heart he
was attacked by the world that couldn’t stand true love.
He still loved anyway, and He
still loves us today. And he offers us
the freedom to come to him, to choose him, just as and where we are.
