Wednesday's Word - Need Jesus?

I was talking with a friend the other day and afterwards I really couldn’t get passed the feeling that people really need Jesus. Not in that funny sort of way that sitcoms use in conjunction with a laugh track, but in a real way that showcases just how much of a Uniquely Genuine Person He is. There are so many religions, 40 of them are listed at religioustolerance.org. And for the most part (not including Satanism of course), these religions speak very highly of Jesus, some even claiming that He holds a special place in their “religion”…But is that true? Would Jesus really condone their beliefs. I know that ‘s a touchy subject, so many people think Jesus’ main message was “getting along with everybody”. But remember, Jesus caused quite a stir in the “churches” of His day. He wasn’t as “Qué Será Será” as people like to make Him out to be. Even His inner circle had to come to grips that.

Here’s theWord;

John 6:65-68 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

I didn’t want to make this too long but please read that story in John 6 about how Jesus presented them with some information that was hard for them to get a handle on; culminating in some of the disciples walking away. Is that the picture of Jesus you have? Have you tried to fit an ‘Anything goes’ type of Jesus into your “religious beliefs”? It’s worth reflecting on, trust me, cause when the Scriptures tell of Jesus saying “Depart from Me” in Matthew 7:23, I’d bet that a lot of those people thought they had Jesus. And at that single moment, it was eternally too late to Need Jesus.
