Live Now Live Later

For 10 years of my life I followed and was in love with “My” Jesus and until recently in the last couple of years my thoughts have always remained the same about Him. “My” Jesus is totally in love with me and pleased with my life. I remember saying the “special prayer” to invite Him in My life and “My” Jesus has ONLY been concerned with making this earthly life as great as possible for me. “My” Jesus is so awesome because He doesn’t infringe on my daily life. As long as I attend a weekly church service and put some money in the bucket, “My” Jesus gets totally excited and looks to bless me beyond my “wildest dreams”.

“My” Jesus isn’t concerned for me reaching out to take care of the needy because quite frankly “My” Jesus recognizes that I’m the one in need. In need of more money, a bigger house, fancier cars and more electronic gadgets. “My” Jesus isn’t really concerned about me telling others about Him for 2 reasons. One reason is the fact that “My” Jesus has plenty of preachers and Hyper Christians who already do this and two “My” Jesus doesn’t want MY POPULARITY to be compromised with others. “My” Jesus knows I’m shy when it comes to things like this and would NEVER want me to do anything outside of MY comfort zone.

“My” Jesus doesn’t want me to focus on Heaven, but ONLY on this earthly life and the everyday issues that come along with it. “My” Jesus doesn’t really care if I spend time with Him on a daily basis in communication and bible study. “My” Jesus is totally aware that my day is FULL of obligations which include work, family life, hobbies, and my favorite television shows. Just as long as when things go “totally bad in my life” I spend enough quality time with him so “My” Jesus can get things back on track and then once everything is okay resume my normal activity. “My” Jesus isn’t concerned with sin because He already died for it a long time ago. “My” Jesus just doesn’t want my sin to become aware to the public to where I look like a hypocrite.

I could go on and on about “My” Jesus up until the day when I started reading the BIBLE IN CONTEXT and not just the parts that made me “feel good” and then I shockingly realized that “My” Jesus and probably the Jesus for MANY other people…
