Description
Life is full of struggle and we each experience trouble and heartbreak. Jesus advised of this reality in His sermons and parable teachings while giving guidance and instruction as to our human condition. In the Gospels he proclaims, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.” It is here we find the answer which many Christians miss, others search for, and most grapple with. True Christian belief and discipleship is grounded in the principle of daily denying of self and daily living in obedience to God’s Word; through the examples, thoughts, words and deeds of Jesus the Christ. A co-existence between the spiritual and the pragmatic is essential. Not only does God know and love each of us as we are, but more importantly He is waiting for each of us to know and accept Him for who He is. This acknowledgment of God coupled with a new found understanding of His love and compassion encourages us to accept ourselves and discover His Son’s examples of how we should live and treat each other. Jesus described this treatise on life in the biblical account of Matthew 22:37 when He instructs us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. . . and Love your neighbor as yourself.” There are none who are better in God’s eyes, for each transgression against His holy instruction is unacceptable in his sight. When we come to realize and understand this, it frees us to look for and learn a different way to live; in obedience to Him and at peace with each other.
