"I love Jesus! Jesus is my friend!"...Really?

Just a thought...

I hear people say  that Jesus is their buddy and friend! But as soon as Sunday is over, it seems that they have totally forgotten about Jesus.

I've always had trouble understanding those people; I have to shamefully admit, I too have put Jesus aside and disrespected Him in the past.

When we talk about Jesus we cannot forget that He is also an all Mighty LORD of all! He makes the earth shake and stars explode, He's the creator of all, He is all powerful and awesome!

He can end my life in an instant, He can also turn any terrible situation into the greatest thing that have ever happed!

This all powerful God, who literally died for you and me is who we call buddy? That we pat on the back and convince Him that what we're doing is not "that" bad, that everyone does it?!

 It just doesn't make sense...

It shows that Jesus has never been their friend, nor do they know anything about Jesus. (That is a scary thought.)

This touched my heart a while ago and I turned back to Jesus after living my life convincing myself that since I go to church, baptized and a member of the church, it must mean that I'm saved and are on good terms with Jesus, so I had nothing to worry about... But all of that is superficial and deep in my heart I knew that Jesus wasn't even close to me, I didn't feel His presence and love like I used to. And.... He is merciful and loving Lord, He wants to save and love you and me, and I truly never want to put my trust in anyone else ever again but Him!

The scariest thing in the world is to live your life, lying to yourself to the point where you make yourself believe that that lie is the truth, but at the end, when it's too late, understand that it was always a lie.

" O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me! ...even the darkness is not dark to you;      the night is bright as the day,      for darkness is as light with you ... I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;      my soul knows it very well... How precious to me are your  thoughts, O God!      How vast is the sum of them! ... Search me, O God, and know my heart!      Try me and know my thoughts! 24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,      and  lead me in  the way everlasting! " Psalm 139:1,12,14,17,23,24 This is such an amazing psalm that David wrote down and that we have now. I will never stop being amazed with the relationship that David had with the LORD. This psalm was David's prayer to the LORD, it is written in such a personal and deep level that it is hard to skim over this psalm. This ps...

What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ.  If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me.  Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source?  Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much ev...
