Why waste your time chasing a storybook Jesus? The word from God today is esoteric referring to the myth about the person of Jesus.
First of all, Jesus is alive and wants to be a living reality in your life. Jesus does not live in history; He desires to live in every moment of your life. He is not illusive or distant.
Jesus is an every day God who wants to come down from heaven and meet you personally. Jesus desires to have conversations with you and share the attributes of His life with you.
Jesus is not religious man. He is not asking you to keep laws, practice religion or do works to please Him.
How do you remove the esoteric label? This happens through prayer and opening your heart up to Jesus. You don’t have to jump in with both feet. He will definitively prove to you that He is worth more than anything in the world.
Reach out in prayer by speaking honestly about your feelings and ask Him to help you with all your needs. This is not a monologue; you must listen to what Jesus has to say.
The cornerstone in a relationship with Jesus is built on faith. He wants you to believe His words and walk by faith and not by what you see with your eyes.
The government of God is on the shoulders of Jesus. He wants you to obey Him and live under His authority. This is for your own protection and to provide you with an abundant life which you can never achieve on your own.
Now lets deal with the Bible. Jesus doesn’t look upon the Bible as a historical manuscript. Jesus lives and communicates through His words. He desires for you to extract the truths from the Bible and appropriate His values into your life.
The miracle of Jesus is the gift of salvation. This has nothing to do with time. Jesus seals you with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Jesus and is your direct link to the Living Christ. He is the source of the unlimited strength, wisdom, joy and protection of God.
Jesus does not want you to live on the surface and short change yourself. He wants you to live in the depth of His heart and receive the fullness of His greatness and glory.
How can you say no this awesome God?
“Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord” Isaiah 43:10-11
