We Don't Need Jesus Anymore I had a thought the other day; it appears that we don’t really need Jesus anymore. We have become pretty good at solving our own problems and taking care of ourselves. Independence is what we call it. We pride ourselves in finding alternative ways to get things done when we come up against obstacles. I know I do anyway. We have become proficient in having a contingency plan and a back up plan to our contingency plan. If all of these fail, we will resort to our failsafe plan. We have become so wise in our own eyes that it is evident – We don’t really need Jesus anymore! © I mean who needs Jesus to heal our sick when we have able and capable doctors who will take care of any ailment for just a co-pay? They prescribe medicine for everything from a headache to diabetes. We have faith that our doctors can cure anything. © Who needs Jesus to feed the hungry after we have followed his revival around for 3 days? We have grocery stores and fast food restaurants. And who goes to church 3 nights in a row anymore anyway, (we might miss our favorite TV shows or social time with friends)? © Who needs Jesus to provide for all our needs when we have credit cards to pay for things when we run out of money? If our credit fails, there’s always the government to bail us out! © Who needs Jesus to seek forgiveness for our sins when, truth be told, we aren’t all that bad anyway? I mean, we may mess up a little, but we aren’t major sinners! There are a lot of people who are way worse than us, people who murder, rape and steal. Bottom line is this: since we can heal ourselves, provide for ourselves, take care of our future security and don’t really have major sins we need to be forgiven for – who really needs Jesus? We obviously don’t! Think about it. Word… P. Alex posted by Pasta' Alex # 10:58 AM   Comments: Post a Comment << Home |
