Jesus doesn’t think or act like you. And, He is perfect. He doesn’t want companionship with your old life.
The miracle of salvation is Jesus creates a new life. The baggage from the past is of no value to Jesus. Your old life has been tainted with sin and the ways of the world. Jesus offers you the gift of salvation and the ability to be become born again by the Spirit and Water.
Imagine a steady stream of Living Water transforming your personality, thoughts, decision making and moral compass.
God wants His originality to shape your life. You might think God wants to use your strengths, education, and experiences to draw people to Christ. This is an incorrect analysis of how God works.
Jesus wants to stamp your life with His originality. He changes how you think and gives you a new perspective on life.
Jesus gives you supernatural wisdom and knowledge in all your endeavors. You have the mind of Christ.
Jesus makes it very clear you have nothing to offer to Him but He can give you a new life filled with the character of Jesus.
The originality of Jesus comes through prayer, listening for His voice and meditating on His Word. The Holy Spirit convicts you of sin and teaches you the values of Jesus.
The contrast between Jesus and a human being is almost impossible to understand. This is about light and darkness. Jesus is holy, pure and without any sin. Humanity is depraved, lives for self and defies God.
