An Exercise in Active Christianity - 18.51 minutes
Here is AmeriKan’s 5 Things He Digs About Jesus:
l. Jesus forgave me…when it was my sin that put him on the cross. And He keeps forgiving me, today, when I still stumble and blow it.
2. Jesus listens like none other…when no one else really cared or gave two cents about what I was going through. Jesus was there and saw every tear fall, because…He had been there,too…in the garden.
3. Jesus is the “wheel in the middle of the wheel.” When all hell has broken loose, He comforts and brings peace in the storms of life. When it appeared our home was falling apart, He brought peace that lasted.
4. Jesus is faithful. He walked right through the crowd. They wanted to kill Him but they couldn’t touch Him. Three times the devil tried to kill me physically. Each time, Jesus said, “You can’t have Him. He belongs to me.”
5. Jesus has all the time in the world…time to sit on the hillside and listen to the little children…time to sleep and then awaken to calm the storm. And time, to allow me to grow, make mistakes, rise up and somehow do it all over again. Time…for me to draw close to Him and He to me.
As a fellow believer, I like hearing this testimony. These kinds of things build us up and create a “koinonia” that is only found in those whose trust is in Christ.
Five Things I Dig About Jesus -
1. - He lived a life totally controlled by the Spirit.
2. - He was full of compassion.
3. - He valued everyone.
4. - He was and is the same - yesterday,today and forever.
5. - He sent the Holy Spirit to help me.
Larry,
Thanks for the list. There’s just something about believers testifying about the Lord that you just can’t get anywhere else.
