Spiritual Tune-up: Don’t Ignore JESUS

       There is absolutely nothing
in what Jesus himself or his early followers taught
that suggests you can decide just to enjoy forgiveness
at Jesus’s expense
and have nothing more to do with him.

       – Dallas Willard

 

• Why would anyone
  ever IMAGINE
  that such an insulting behavior toward Jesus
  would even be ok –
  let alone that it would gain one forgiveness and eternal life?
• Well, sad to say, it seems we’ve actually been TAUGHT
  to think of Jesus in that cheap, immoral way.
  False teachers, apparently.
• But Jesus is clearly worthy of a much more
  honest, direct, personal, whole-hearted response.
• And it is certainly true that the Gospels, the Bible,
  give us not a bit of hope
  for such a cheap,
  manipulative relationship with Jesus.
