Jesus Freaks II. [antikvár]

A MESSAGE FROM d c TAL K"You have heard it said unto you but I say unto you "From the beginnings of His public ministry, Jesus set the record straight: "I have come to change the world." He had come to change people's thinking. He had come to revolutionize their paradigmthe way they saw the world and had comfortably settled into it, following their own desires, ignoring those around them who needed help, and figuring that was the way to do it because everyone else was doing pretty much the same thing.Then came Jesus. "You have heard it said but I say unto you "We often think we have arrived spiritually because we have memorized a bunch of rules and regulations, or a list of do's and don'ts, and built them into our culture and lifestyle. If you just wear your Christian T-shirt once a week, always have your radio tuned to the local Christian music station, don't do drugs or drink, go to church on Sundays and Bible study one night a week, take part in the summer missions trip, and don't have sex until you are married, then you are a real witness to those around you.But Jesus came and shattered man's perception of the world. He taught about a kingdom that was more powerful than man could ever comprehend. This kingdom, however, didn't always make common sense. He taught that the kingdom of heaven is more than clothes, music, Bible studies, and what you do on the outside. The kingdom of heaven is spiritual. The kingdom of heaven is peace. The kingdom of heaven is the narrow road of following Jesus day by day. You can't be like everyone else and follow Him. His sheep hear His voice and chase after Him; they don't just roam with the rest of the herd and think that is going to save them.The path He has for you is very different, very special; it is unique in all of humankind. He came to change the world. How can those who truly follow Him have any less of a goal in life?
