What is Love? Do you have a little Love or a lot of Love? Love is the desire that causes most to do things that they would not normally do. Love is powerful because it makes us understand when we have it. How do we know when we have it? When you become an adult and your mom cooks you dinner without your help that would be love. Even greater Love concerns serving those who are not capable of helping accomplish the task. Why does Jesus love you? Only Jesus can tell you the many reasons why he loves you. When we pray to God, we are showing God how much we love him. Who has ever given to God that God should repay him? Romans 11:35 Jesus worshiped God like we should. Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. Luke 22:42 How much does Jesus love you? Enough to describe the kingdom of God many times to his followers. Enough to show us that what he spoke about the kingdom of God is true and that life exists after death. In life many have spoken about heaven and talked about seeing light in a tunnel, but the resurrection was seen by over 500 people. This is credible evidence that Jesus is God's tool to reconcile with us over the punishment of death. Many scoff at this idea of death being a punishment. However, not knowing what lies beyond is what death is all about. Jewish people understand this concept well, since they follow the law in the old testament. The law is meant to be followed, because sin produces ignorance. The more we sin the less we understand, thus a life with no restraint to sin produces a moron. My understanding of Heaven or the Kingdom of God rests with Jesus. Why? My sinful nature prevents me from understanding what lies beyond. Death is a harsh reality. Why did Jesus choose to do the will of the Father and become sin and suffer death? Jesus was sent to reconcile with all people not just a few. Jesus did not have to die. He could have left the earth after describing the kingdom of God to his followers. How would he have left the earth? In the same way that he is coming again. The doubt really starts to rise when scientists hear about the second coming of Jesus, since life can only be explained to them with a dubious beginning. Thus it should have an uncertain ending, since nothing is in charge. People who listen to this type of ignorance are truly apathetic. Apathy for those who don't know concerns a lack of concern for the truth. Which basically means the truth does not matter, because death is absolute. This is why it is said, "the wages of sin is death". Death produces a lot of anguish. The pain of dealing with this punishment over and over again throughout life produces apathy. Since we are a creation of God and nothing, therefore the resurrection of Jesus is God's way to reconcile with us by showing that we were created for an eternal purpose. Fundamentally, we need to know that we matter and that we will be remembered. Moreover, the resurrection is the evidence for these fundamentals. |
