Jesus our redeemer and salvation. Jesus came to deliver us from the consequences of sin. Sin still abound because we allow it when we don’t rebuke it, now that we are so knowledgeable about it. Taking control of it is in following in the footsteps of Jesus. We must follow Jesus, the perfect example of how to overcome sin, by being one with God. Remembering when Jesus said, “to see me is to see the Father”(John 14:9) “The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work” (John 14:10). This showed me that Jesus lived for the will of the Father to be done in him without wavering. Like so many men and women of the Bible, God’s will is written with in us all, but like Adam and Eve for some of us, we allow temptation and the distractions of the enemy to overcome us.

What do I mean by the will of God is written within us? For example, when the devil told Jesus to turn the stone into bread and Jesus said, “ it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that…”(Matthew 4:3-4). Jesus wasn’t talking about the what was written in the Bible, but rather what God has written within our spirit. The devil wasn’t trying to defeat Jesus the divine, but Jesus the man.

There’s only a few chosen people who have an intimate relationship with God to be true leaders (shepherd) in the world. We can’t be so ignorant with those who just doesn’t believe or can’t understand the way we do with our faith. You who are chosen, like Moses have to let Gods light shines within and through you that others may believe. The feeling of being superior of others and their faith (religion) is so very wrong. When we can’t in our actions, show the true light of God and not darkness, we are not worthy. God is love and if we can’t have love, even for those who doesn’t believe like we do, then we are not of God. God alone knows how, what and when they would change. All we have to do is pray for them.

Jesus brought to us the unconditional love of God for all of humanity. He took all our sins upon himself and give us grace instead. Look at what Jesus took upon himself for us that is considered sin, doing good for others, healing, miracles, feeding thousands, then being betrayed, mocked and spat on, beaten, scourged and forsaken by love ones due to fear and then murdered (crucified) for no reason, not even being found guilty of one wrong doing. What does it say about us when we do consider what is truly evil or sin within us. Think about this the sin wasn’t anything Jesus has done or being. It was our action toward him for no reason that was the sin in us he allowed us to play out by crucifying him because of fear, envy and jealousy. Kinda sound like what Cain did to his brother Abel. And here we were thinking we were doing good for God sake by killing Jesus. The cross was and is very important to us and for us because it was the place that Jesus recognized who and what truly possessed us and said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do!”
