"Thinking About JESUS CHRIST"
Have any of you ever thought about what things would have been like if The Lord Jesus had been like most sinful human beings? What if when He was a child, people would have made fun of Him for thinking that He was special with special abilities, how many of you could have or would have resisted the urge to punish them in some way? And what if instead of caring for and being concerned about the suffering and welfare of others, He just ignored their suffering and only thought about Himself? And what if He just decided to let the blind He healed just stay blind? Also, what if He could not have cared less that the thousands who had heard Him speak on several occasions did not have anything to eat, and He just decided to feed Himself and His Disciples alone? What too if He just decided to curse or put to death those Pharisees who were always trying to trap or deceive Him? And what if instead of becoming The Sacrificial Lamb of GOD, He decided to change His mind, where would any of you be now?
The next time you think of just how good The Lord JESUS and I have been to you, think also about many of these "what-if" questions that have been presented. If JESUS would have been like many of you, the majority of you would still be dead in your sins. Many of you need to also consider your selfishness with people and the way you tend to treat others, and then ask yourselves if JESUS would be treating them the same as you? Some people love to ask the question, what would JESUS do when it comes to certain situations? Well, some other questions might be, what would JESUS say or think when it comes to certain things in life. There are those among you who could see someone in need and just keep right on going without ever giving it a second thought. What would JESUS do in the same situation? More people really should think more like JESUS and less like themselves, which would make this world so much better in which to live each and every day, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.
AMEN
