MY FRIENDS, BREAKING NEWS, CNN CAN PLACE US ON A PATH TO “FINDING JESUS”!!

finding-jesusThe “Breaking News” special is called “Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact, Forgery”  which explores in a six part series, major artifacts, the Shroud of Turin, the True Cross, and John the Baptist, and in their opinion their findings will give us the most direct evidence about the life and world of Jesus. “The book and attendant CNN series provide a dramatic way to retell “the greatest story ever told” while introducing a broad audience to the history, the latest controversies, and newest forensic science involved in sorting out facts from the fiction of would-be forgers and deceivers.”

Finding Jesus; what a strange an ironic title and I say that because every child of God who seeks Christ with all of their heart has already found Jesus. And if anyone ask us how we know He lives?

We would say simply, Because “He walks with us and He talks with us along life’s narrow way and most of all He lives withinC0704C0B6B024B8983D140F3546FEBD5 our heart” because we have been crucified with Christ and we no longer live, but Christ lives [in each of us and] the life [we] now live in the body, [we now] live by faith in the Son of God, who loved [us] and gave himself for [us].” Gal 2:20 (NIV)

So the question we must ask ourselves, what could CNN possible add to make our journey any more complete. In addition, once we have allowed God’s Spirit to transform our lives into the likeness of Christ why would we be interested in CNN’s Sound bites and rhetoric about our Salvation and the one who gave it all to save us from destruction.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 3:17-19 (KJV) “So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Consistent with this, when our character is rooted in God, His word and Spirit and continues to be rooted, it is an experience that lasts throughout our lives here on earth and will also carry us throughout the ceaseless ages of Eternity.

It is impossible for man to understand by using his limited intellect the mind of an all knowing, all powerful, Omnipresence God by some scientific method while telling their viewers you can find signs of God’s existence in the ancient ruins of some far away country as if it was as simple as putting a man on the moon, or inventing a microchip the size of a pins head that holds billions and billions of scientific data.

Acts 4:13 (KJV) says “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they iphone_photowere astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus?” That my friends tells us when a person finds Christ everyone will see Jesus through them.

In addition, CNN will not have to tell us even though He no longer walks among us, He is a Prayer away if we seek Him with all of our heart.

But it must be a daily process, and in so doing, we become aware of our own existence, sensations, thoughts, and surroundings and as a result, each day we will begin to walk into Gods divine wisdom, a wisdom that allows us to focus and walk along the same path that Christ did when He was own this earth. A path of a humble and loving servant to all.

 

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
