Jesus isn't just a great person who lived two thousand years ago. Jesus is with us today. You can experience him just as the people of Palestine did then. His last words in the Gospel of Matthew are: "I will be with you till the end of time".
Jesus was born in a small town in Palestine, called Bethlehem. He grew up in a remote village called Nazareth. While there he was a carpenter but at thirty he left Nazareth and became a wandering preacher. He had no property, no money, no power, and no influence. He was not a member of the political or religious hierarchy. His enemies tortured and killed him on a cross. Yet no one has changed the world as he has.
When he died, his enemies thought his story was finished but it was only beginning. Jesus is with us today. He can be with you. He is the answer to all your problems. He can make your life blossom as never before.
The Way to Know Jesus
We get to know Jesus through the Gospels. We read a part of a Gospel, understand it and then discover through prayer God's message for us.
Jesus is a real Person. We can get to know him but like everything worth doing we have to work at it.
First we have to give time each day. Without giving time each day we shouldn't expect any results.
Second, we need silence and solitude so that we can enter into 'the cave of our hearts'.
Third, we need to pray that God's Holy Spirit come upon us.When his Spirit comes upon us, he will lead us .
Fourth, we must realise that Jesus is present deep within us. We need to make contact with him. We are to sit quietly in his presence. To help you concentrate your mind and heart on him, you can recite a word or phrase (no more than seven syllables) such as "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus". "Jesus, my Saviour", "Jesus, I sit before you", "Jesus, my Lord & my God" .
At first try ten minutes every day, sitting quietly and comfortably all alone. Do this sincerely every day without fail and over the weeks and months you will notice a difference and people will notice a difference in you too. The more generous you are, the more you will be able to receive. Jesus will be at work in you and create a spring of peace within you. The secret is not effort but fidelity to it day by day.
If you are familiar with the Gospels, you can take a scene and put yourself in it, sitting there before Jesus. You can use your imagination, but it isn't just imagination. It is real because Jesus is present.
I will also introduce you to Jesus through the Gospels which have come down to us from 2000 years. Keep an eye on this blog it can change your life!
