Do you want a change from your routine lifestyle?
Do you live in sickness?
Do you live in sin and bondage?
Do you want to live with an inner freedom?
For any question regarding life, in which you want change, the answer is simple - Jesus. Jesus is the same ever. He is the same all the time. But do you know what will make you like Him? Before that, do you know what Jesus likes? The Bible calls Him Prince of Peace. What is that you want now? Do you prefer a $1 million in the bank or peace? What is the use if your money is big and you lost your peace in the wind? Can that money be exchanged for anything that will give you peace forever? Do not worry the answer for it is found in a verse in the Bible.
John 14:6 "... I am the way, the truth, and the life...”
Jesus lives and loves to make you live. Do know what makes you feel stuck up with one thing and unable to see progress in any particular subject? That is clearly because you are trying to do it by yourself or with your own resources.
I've seen people coming to Jesus, when their resources have emptied. They come to Him when they find no where to go. His presence is subtle that people do not notice Him in this world. Why is this ignorance prevailing? There is everything in the presence of Jesus. If you invite Jesus for a tea-party, He would come and in His company would no doubt, give you thrill and excitement. You will enjoy it. He will have tea with you and at last, when the bill arrives, He would look at you. He would like you to pay the bill. You know why? It is you only who had invited Him, and hence He would expect you to pay for Him. Many people think that Jesus will pay the bill (and that's why they invite Him!). How can you leave Jesus in such a state, particularly when He dislikes to carry His own money-purse. He comes from Heaven and you are an earthly being, and you expect Him to pay in rupees or in dollars. It is too silly what these humans do, inviting a super-guest and leaving Him embarrassed before the waiter. After you settle the bill, He would give you something and then leave. People get some times so confused and bewildered that they do not open and see while He is there itself. He would not explain about everything that's inside it. It is not a cheque or a free movie pass. it is something supernatural that only Jesus can give. Even if you rush behind Him or pull His garments to ask Him about that which He gave you, he would readily answer. He would not tell anything special if you do not do anything special. He likes to be forceful, but beware be not foolish. People confuse themselves and act stupid before the Lord of lords! Lo, for some teachers! I believe you will not be able to understand Jesus only by looking at His actions. Gestures, signs and actions are for unbelievers. Words are for believers.
You will or will not realise that I have to say about that He gives you when He's leaving. If you're clever you'll know what is spoken of here. Remember me saying that anything can be useful only if you have enough patience to handle it? Patience comes through peace. Yes, He would give you peace, His peace, that surpasses what can be obtained through effort and understanding.
To Be Continued.
