Original Jesus.

 

When I was a small child the Sunday School lessons about Jesus were full of wonderment.  I was able to learn about Jesus for the very first time.  Was it His love for the little children that drew me to Him?  Or was it hearing about when He walked on the water?  Or how He helped rescue Peter when he tried the same thing?  Or was it how Jesus expressed the care of God for us through the example of how God clothes the most beautiful things in nature?  Even the winds and waves obeyed Jesus!  He not only raised the dead to life, He arose Himself - just as He said He would!   

There are so many reasons to fall in love with Jesus - even in pre-school.  We  sang songs, draw pictures and colored them.  We had a special week  to learn about Him and the love He has for us.  Those were times of wonder and beauty, as I also looked around and pondered the beauty of wildflowers in our lawn and songbirds in the trees - to see the world with the wonderment that God had made each little thing for their own purpose and time and that each had its own beauty and place in the vastness of the earth which was created by God.  We learned of the creation of the world, Adam and Eve, Cain and Able, how evil came upon the earth through belief of Satans lies, how God preserved mankind through Noah and the ark, and the covenant God made to man and the sign of the rainbow.  We also learned about Abraham, Issacc and Jacob, how God did wonderful things through the most dire of curcumstances and raised Joseph up in Egypt to prepare a place for His special people and how God lead them out of captivity to a land of thier own and gave them the law to both preserve them and foretell of the very gospel of Jesus Christ.

Then came life and introduction to its trials and problems.  I was taught a number of things that just didn't seem to fit what I had come to see in the truth of Jesus.  People started indoctrination to things that He didn't say, but I accepted these things, as I had no idea how wrong they were, but the Lord purges false beliefs from my heart and mind as I returned to seek the Orginal Jesus - the real doctrine of Jesus Christ.  It is just as He said:  "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." Freedom in Christ is contingent upon abiding in His word.

In 2010 we find ourselves in a world torn apart by strife and all manners of evil.  We can turn on the television or go on the internet and see how evil has impacted the beauty of the earth which God made.  Thankfully I can walk outside and see the sun still shines and just yesterday witnessed one of the most magnificent double rainbows I've ever seen.  The birds still sing, the flowers still bloom, but there is a darkness  coming upon mankind around the entire earth - the darkness and evil of  evil actions of certain men towards others.    For all the troubles we can see, there is something else to look for. Our eyes should not be darkness, but full of light.  Jesus told us what would come upon the world in the latter times and admonished that our hearts not be troubled or fearful.  Rather than fear, Jesus encouraged us to look up to the heavens because our salvation draws near.

Who can we really count on to tell us the whole truth?

Church is where we should be able to place our trust, second only to the Lord Himself.  But then you have to look at what your church is teaching to see if they are telling you the truth  - the whole truth - the ORIGINAL JESUS   If you've read the previous pages on this web site you should have adequate knowledge and understanding that according to Jesus, faith is more than profession of the mouth - it is found in willingly seeking out His words to do what He taught in your own life as He gives opportunity to do so.  It is for those good works that we have been created to give our light and testimony to the world.  Jesus went throughout Israel teaching what He called the gospel of the kingdom and said that this gospel must be preached to the ends of the earth to each nation and tongue.  The gospel message is not merely that Jesus died on the cross and rose again, the gospel message is the message Jesus taught, and that we need to listen because He proved who He was by not only dieing for us, but also resurrecting from the dead - just as He said He would.

 

John 14:23-31:

 

"If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.  He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

 These things I have spoken to you while being present wtih you.  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring your remembrance all things that I said to you.  Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.'  If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

 

And now I have told you before it comes, that when it  does come to pass, you may believe.  I will no longertalk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.  But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment- so I do.  Arise, let us go from here."
