    •  the verse on my Calendar for Saturday & Sunday

    Jesus is God Incarnate. Jesus is the great I AM. He said to His disciples that in Him, they already can see God. God and Jesus have the same attributes. In Jesus, God is very near to us. In Jesus, true Christians get the chance to know who God really is. What is He really like. In Jesus, we realized that God is not a mean God at all. In Jesus, we found out that God loves us unconditionally notwithstanding our race, character or creed. Through Jesus, we've learned that God created all of us, humans are only one level lower than God's angels, that we are God's precious children. No one was born without God's knowledge.

    And in this Love that God has for us, He mingled with His creation in the person of His Son. In His Son, He promised that He will be with those that love Him until the ends of the earth. Until the earth is new again.

    Now, I understand why Jesus said that only in our surrendering our will to Him; by renewing our minds from what religion has instilled in us that we have to go through doctrinal methods to be able to be accepted in heaven, is not what God has intended for us. Religion makes it impossible to be near and even know God. Jesus said that in accepting Him as our Lord and Savior; and our friend who will show the way, the Truth about God and the Light that leads us to heaven, all the Old Testament religion rituals are 'null and void.' As in "All bets are off" in modern time sayings. A situation in which one factor alone, which is Jesus, can change or cancel out everything that religion teaches.

    Jesus sets it straight as God wants to happen. God and Jesus coming together to save us from the lies spread in this world by our enemy - represented by that serpent who whispered to Eve's ear that fateful day of the fall of mankind.
