Jesus has changed my life If Jesus was supposed to be a warrior king, then why does it come as a peacemaker? Why associate Jesus with the poor, tax collectors to prostitutes and those who were considered sinners? Why was Jesus crucified when he did was good works during his lifetime?
Several great theologians of the Bible attempt to answer these questions by asking more. They wondered why a man who could heal the sick and perform many miracles would not a warrior who would drive the Roman government of the Jewish land.
Jesus came as a servant of the people with a message of hope for those who put their faith in Him. They expected a king who would lead them to war against Rome. Instead, Jesus said that if a Roman soldier asked you to carry his load for a mile, you were supposed to carry his load for two miles.
They expected a Son of God who fights against everybody who was oppressing them. Instead, Jesus told them to turn the other cheek. They expected a prince, instead they received a man who told them to love your enemies and do good to those who persecute you.
Everything about Jesus was unexpected and totally opposed to the fierce, sword welding man they expected. They had a man loving a man who had a spiritual wisdom that goes far beyond the teachings of the Pharisees.
Jesus was a poor carpenter, a man who told their stories in parables, who refused to draw lines between rich and poor, and everyone is treated equally.
Many great historians of the Bible have told the story of Jesus, but today many do not understand why he should die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. They just accepted the story without really understanding the concept of grace.
Several years ago God spoke to me supernaturally and explained that I had much to learn in this world. At the time I thought I lived a life of Christian right believe that I did not sin. It was not long before God turned everything I thought I knew backwards and told me the truth about my life and purpose behind the world.
We live in a world of education. Each of us has a destiny is to perform what can be done in a corrupt and evil. Each of us has spiritual goals to be accomplished, we will learn the difference between good and evil.
Galatians 1: 15 and 16, "But God in his grace chose me even before I was born, and called me to serve. And when he decided to reveal his Son to me, so I can preach the Good News about him to the Gentiles, I'm not anyone for advice. "
I learned to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and began to see the world for what it was. In my quest to understand my call, I immersed myself in the Bible and biblical history books. I found evidence of what I read and the teaching of the Holy Spirit.
God told me I had to watch the world as if I was in a great game in many aspects. A game world that challenges us to learn the difference between good and evil. A game that demanded that I trust him completely.
Hebrews 11: 1 and 2, "To have faith is being sure of what we hope some of the things that we can not see. By faith the people of ancient times won the approval of God. "
Adams sin has created the game of life when he ate the apple to be as wise as God. Wisdom demands that differences can be interpreted through examples of good and bad. The only way we can humanly learn is to go through different levels of difficulty in the game of life. Our goal is to master the sin that wants to control us.
That's why Grace was born. Jesus changed any concept of life by making simple.
