It’s easy to affirm that we’ve been having difficulty in reaching the standard described in Luke 6:32-36. We still haven’t expressed, with intensity and scope the love that Christ desires we have for one another.

Jesus said: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me”. But where did Jesus go? Where is He? The Bible says that Jesus is in heavens, on the right side of God, but He is also on earth, through the Holy Spirit that dwells and expresses Himself in men that are reconciled and restored by God.

“For when I am weak, then am I strong”. This is written in 2Corinthians 12:10 and apparently, to our natural eyes, this is a paradox and it seems like something crazy, because according to what we read in this verse, when we are fragilized, impotent, and really weak according to human optical, then, in this condition, is when we become strong, vigorous and useful to God.

Human being is composed of spirit, soul and body and he has five senses: sight, hearing, touch and taste and with these faculties we contact the world. Our soul is composed by the mind, will and emotions, and through these faculties we learn about ourselves. Our spirit also has three faculties: consciousness, intuition and communion, and with them we contact God.  Read: “God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). So, our eyes and hands cannot see or touch God, because He is Spirit. 

Every time we read the Word of God we should seek what it reveals about us. In Geneses 1:2 there’s an information about our human condition before God; “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters”.

Matthew 8:13 says: “And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour”. The centurion’s servant, wasn’t healed by the touch of Jesus’ hands, but by the His spoken Word.

Everyone wants joy and rejects sadness. But, for us not to suffer and be happy, it’s necessary to not have a heavy burden. Basically, there are two types of burdens: one of sins and the other of anxiety.

Considering that nothing makes sense in life, until you understand and know God, then, it’s never too late to begin living nest to Him. To begin this process, we need to observe that, the starting point to the knowledge of God is to relate with Him through our Lord Jesus Christ (1Tim. 1:5).  

The Word of God is powerful to change our way of thinking. 1Corinthians 1:18-19 says that the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. It breaks us and Christ begins manifesting Himself and doing all things through us. 

A certain time a young man questioned: “Why is Jesus the only way for a relationship with God?” It was demonstrated to him that Jesus declared to be the only way to God, that the testimony of the Scriptures and the apostles was faithful and that there were enough eveidences to support the faith in Jesus Christ, as Savior and Lord.
