Thought to Ponder

“What think ye of Christ?” –Matthew 22:42

Who really is Jesus? Was he some psycho who wanted to get attention? Was he a great humanistic teacher? Was he a good moral role model but nothing more? Was he God? Is he God? Who is he? Why should we even care?

We are called to know Jesus as “THE way, THE truth, and THE life,” but can we really know what that means? We get so wrapped up in our theology security blankets and think that our salvation is secured because we have the right things to say in every circumstance, but is that “THE way” to find “THE truth” for “THE life” that we are supposed to long for?

Unwrap yourself from and quit bickering about the philosophy and theology of Jesus and start leaning about him from him. If we live by the Spirit, we will keep in step. We don’t keep in step by our doctrines but by who Christ is in us. You can have the most theologically sound and orthodox doctrines and dogmas that you follow, but if you don’t know Christ, it’s worthless.
