Written by James Mejias


What would we give up for Jesus?

Could we or would we follow Him if and when He asked us to do something that went against the grain of our reality?

If He asked you to become blind, deaf, maimed, or paralyzed, could you? What if He asked you to die for Him?

Do we really have enough faith (trust/confidence) in Him? Would we deny ourselves these luxuries if they turned us away from His light?

Do we truly believe He is good and who He claimed to be? If we did then why do we hesitate to follow through in what He says?

Perhaps it is because we are always waiting for the words He speaks to manifest before we will feel confident enough to believe. Like the disciples we still need to experience His goodness through the logic of our flesh, rather than that of our spirit.

Judaism will never be the way to God. Justification through the law will never be enough to convince our flesh. It will always keep us in the place between belief and unbelief. To where we are either always waiting for the Christ to appear or repeatedly crucifying the Savior, who already came.
