It's a sensible decision to follow Jesus
October 23, 2023
My hope is that this finds you well. I am well and full of health and for that, I give all the glory to the one who deserves it, my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, the one and only begotten son of the most high and true God. You see, through him (Jesus) everything was made, and he was in the beginning and presently so as God. He created light and the universe and he himself is the light of the world.
WHO IS JESUS?
Jesus is the son of God and the only way to heaven. He is the light of the world, the savior, the Lord of lords and the king above every other king. Jesus is the word of God. John 14:6-7, John 1;1, Genesis 1:3.
Psalms 119:89: “forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.”
John 1:1-4 says “In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD WAS WITH GOD, and the WORD WAS GOD, He was with GOD in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life and the life was the light of all mankind.”
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, we have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the father, full of grace and truth.
Revelation 19:13. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the WORD OF GOD.
In the above readings we see Jesus as the incarnate son of God. He is the physical manifestation of God the Father. We see that Jesus Christ is fully God and yet fully man who came to reveal God to man and redeem all who believe in him from their sin.
JESUS INVITES YOU
Jesus is inviting all of us without discrimination to accept the offer of salvation. He lays this offer before humanity. He is extending his arms wide open for us so that we can draw near to him. He wants to embrace us, give us eternal life, for in him there is life, and he is the only way to God. John 14:6 – Jesus said to him ‘‘I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.
So which other way do we really want when Jesus has invited us to take the path that leads to life and to life everlasting? Deciding to follow Jesus is the best choice one can ever make, in him we are made the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
When we follow and live our lives for Jesus, he gives us purpose for our lives. God created humankind for relationship, first with GOD and then with our fellow human beings. God gave us life not just to make a living, hang out or get busy with ourselves but to build up His kingdom, give him glory and to share our faith in Jesus. John 15:5. John 15:18, Matthew 28:19-20
The opportunity to have a personal relationship with our creator is an opportunity of a lifetime. I don’t want to miss it and I pray the same for others so that they too will not be ignorant and miss this gift. Communing with your creator everyday is an opportunity of a lifetime and the sweetest feeling ever. We can find this joy by reading the word of God consistently and having a personal time set aside for prayer.
