Taking Jesus Seriously

Some people have concluded that the truth and reality of Jesus is not something to be taken seriously or carefully considered, simply because submitting to Jesus would be extremely inconvenient.  It can be much easier to say, “This Jesus stuff is all a big myth.”  And then go on about your day without the idea that there is Someone to whom we are accountable.

The Presence of God Makes A Difference

There are people who want to believe in God—they wish the truth of Jesus Christ was a reality—but they need someone to help them understand that believing in God is not foolish.  When they see the presence of God making a genuine difference in someone’s life, it helps.

Living With Jesus As Lord of Our Lives

When we accept Jesus, we are agreeing to His influence over our total life.  We’re saying to Christ, “I want the reality of all the things I believe about you, Jesus, to be the truth of how I now live.  I want to live with you as the Lord of my life.”

Letting Our Lives Do The Persuading

Rather than argue for Jesus it is often far more persuasive to let our lives point to the beauty and reality of Jesus.  And, of course, that happens best when our lives have been truly transformed by the presence of Christ living in us.
