My Journey Through Life Is So Much More Than One Thing

Personally Jesus is many things to me and means many things to me. First and for most he is gods son and is the best example of who God is and calls us to be, he was blameless and pure; to put it simpler, he was perfect. His time of teaching on earth was short but was not short of being a huge impact. Through teaching, praying and leading, Jesus was purely god in the flesh, a man with the same temptations and longings that we as humans have. There are many questions that are hard to answer about what Jesus meant by this or why he did that, but what he desires is a heart that is open to his use and a heart that seeks after in everything that we do.

To know Jesus Christ is the best thing that can happen in a person life. It transforms your mind, body and sprint. I have picked the following three topics to share my experiences of knowing Jesus Christ. First, what can your local church do to better communicate God’s love to your community? Second, why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel? Third, Did Jesus claim to be God? These are the three topics that always spark my interest when talking about our Lord savoir Jesus Christ.

Amazingly, the Word of God pronounces what an incredible thing Jesus did, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Christ was willing to sacrifice His life in heaven and come to the darkness of earth and walk with sinful creatures. Humbly, Jesus comforted others and illustrated compassion for the worst sinners. As declared in the Bible, “And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people” (Matthew 4:23). Christ’s cause exceeded His comfort zone, and He taught and healed sinners.

Savior came to earth to save me from sin and death. I am nothing without him, and I know that he loves me no matter how it feels or seems. He promised to be with me every day of my life, I am not perfect, but I serve a perfect God who loves each one of us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16 NASB).

Jesus—perhaps the most discoursed name in history. He has transformed and influenced many lives including mine. To some people, He was a prophet. To others He is a mere legend. To me, he is a father and a friend, but most of all, He is my Lord and Savior through justification, sanctification, and redemption.

Growing up Jesus was rarely talked about at my house. We went to church, and all, but God stayed at the church and we lived our lives. When I was about ten years old, my dad went to Men’s Encounter. He came home a completely different person. He was and is on fire for God; that fire consumed my entire family. We are now devoted to Jesus, church, and the amazing ministry that is Men’s Encounter. I am now an unofficial pastors daughter, and I am loving every bit of it. God has enabled me to witness His great works, and I could not be more blessed.

When this question is personalized, it becomes the most important question one will ever be asked or answer. Who is Jesus Christ to YOU? Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, NKJV). In 1 John 5:11-13 we are told that if we have the son in our life we can KNOW that we have eternal life. Jesus is the only way for us to live an abundant life here on earth, or receive eternal life in fellowship with God. Jesus died on the cross to take the punsihment for our sins so that we could be sinless in the eyes of God. If we do not receive the free gift of eternal life by experiencing the forgiveness achieved by Jesus, then we will receive the punishment we

The Lord led a beautiful and wonderful woman into my life the summer before my undergraduate Senior year that would, later that same year, become my wife. She was lost and seeking God and, that summer, I led her to him but didn't have the tools or the wisdom to show her how to accept Jesus. It wasn't until a few years later, March 6, 2011, that we joined a Baptist church here in Chapel Hill. That day, we confessed to the world we accepted Jesus as our savior and we were Baptized together. God brought us

Having a deep relationship with Christ is my goal, every day I strive to reach this goal. If it wasn’t for his grace, love, mercy and kindness towards me then I probably wouldn’t be here today. God has kept me when I was going through my storms, my hardships and my rough patches. Throughout the past year I have learned to trust God and let him take control of my life and help me understand what he wants for me. I got baptized on March 25, 2016 and ever since that day I devoted my life to him. Every day I try to stay in constant communication with God through prayer. My mother who encourages me to devote time to God and many others who have helped me with my walk with Christ. Christianity is not my religion, it’s my lifestyle, being a disciple of Christ and standing out from others. So, that others recognize that I am not of this world, but I remain a child of

First, several years ago, at ten years old I came to accept that Jesus Christ was only a very good man, who lived along time ago, and eventually died a gruesome death on a cross, then somehow miraculously rose from the dead. However, He means vastly more to me now, than when I was younger; He is far greater than simply a good man who lived a long time ago. I believe Jesus is our example of how humanity should live our lives and treat those around us. I truly believe Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, who came to Earth to forgive me of my transgressions.

This led me to read the Gospels once I came home. I read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each and every single word I read…I fell so deeply in love with. What I learned about Jesus was that he was nothing like what my history teacher, religious friends, or even family had taught me he was. Jesus was God made into the flesh, set apart to save and rescue the broken and weary to simply have rest. Jesus was but a God whom was not crowned with Gold but with Thorns, all for a royalty that was bestowed in a sacrificial glory, a glory so unique that it killed Jesus himself. Jesus is my friend, my father, my savior, and most importantly my God. To him is whom I breathe and work so deeply for. My kingdom is not on this Earth, but it is in the presence of Christ. I am in awe with his yearn to constantly be the voice of those who have felt ignored. Jesus mentions how he was sent to be with the sick and to specifically save sinners. Many beliefs exist, but none can fathom the unique and intricate relationship found in Christ. We are all around a mountain, hoping to find God on the top. We base this climb by our strengths and in our own deeds. We push so deeply to

To start off, I will say a very simple fact, Jesus is everything and everyone. Jesus is all that is around us. When I say this I mean that Jesus is the reason we are where we are, He made everything possible for us and we don’t understand that. Jesus is a symbol of strength, Saving grace, human weakness, hope, life, love, understanding, knowledge, wisdom and almost any other intangible definition of humanity that we could think of. The reason I say this is because Jesus of scripture was everything good in the world and also he highlighted humanity as we are. Jesus in scripture is shown in every situation and can be applied to our world as a symbol. He is in all that is good and also in any situation that is bad. I don’t mean bad as in he is the creator of evil because that would be a complete religious contradiction. I mean that Jesus is the hope in any bad situation. He is what makes evil turn out good. Jesus makes anything bad become understandable through all that He means.

As a very small child I don’t remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child’s eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory’s with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

Since the day I was born my parents took my sister and me to church ever Sunday. I grew up in a loving Christian home and was encouraged at an age where I could fully understand, to purse a relationship with Jesus. I accepted Christ into my heart when I was in the second grade and was baptized in the fourth grade at age 10. Growing up I have always been super involved in Church. I have a heart for people and love serving. Since 3rd grade until now, my senior year of high school I have been on the leadership team with my youth group. I can not imagine my life without Jesus as the center. I have been pushed to step out of my comfort zone and because of that I have grown in several different ways. For example, I am an extrovert and enjoy getting new people, but never liked public speaking as I felt nervous and intimidated. By the many adult leaders, and pastors coming along side of me and encouraging me to step of on my comfort zone I now highly enjoy speaking and spreading the truth about The Lord in big groups of people. I am so thankful for the many God loving people that have come in my life and helped stretch me. Jesus is my entire life and I am nothing without him.

Every journey begins with one small step. I took that step, esoterically, at the age of five, after the life altering experiences of past life flashbacks and the realization that the earthly plane was a launching pad to higher planes. I never felt the need to articulate my newfound awareness of a reality so profoundly different from that of the norm, that I acknowledged it secretly as a divine gift, I would one-day share with others.
