Many people today think that Jesus was a fine man. Some even thing that by following Jesus you might find one of the ways to heaven, or peace and fulfillment. The truth is, most people don't know what He taught. So I want to share with you what Jesus did say about life, death, and Himself. Concerning life, Jesus taught, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." If you are missing peace in your life, Jesus claims that He is able to give you peace. Jesus also said. "Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." Are you thirsting after something? Do you think that there has to be more to life than what you are presently experiencing? Jesus claims that He can satisfy your thirst and that He really is Life and that the rest is truly just details. Jesus also claimed that He was the only way to get peace and have your thirst quenched. "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by me." Can you believe he made that statement? He is the only way to God. He also said, "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast our demons, and in your name perform many miracles? And I will say to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness." You see, Jesus did not say that He was one of the ways to heaven. he did not even claim to be a real fine Man. He did say that there is only one way to God, heaven, peace, purpose, and he made it very clear when he said, "I am the way...". Jesus made it clear that there are only two ways, a broad way and a narrow way. Two trees, a bad tree and a good tree. Two kingdoms, Satan's and His. You must choose which you want, I urge you to choose Jesus, but the choice is yours to make. |
