Jesus part 2

"13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
14They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,[b] the Son of the living God."
17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. " - Matthew 16




"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.'

That is one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of thing Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.

Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." - CS Lewis

Jesus

Who is he to you guys? Just a name? A good role model? Don't care?

A swear word?

Did he exist? Did he have kids? Did he die on a cross?

Does he know you?




Who is he to you?

Tired Post

Ya know when you are up REALLY late for absolutley NO reason other than to stay up?

yup, thats me at the mo. imagine this whole post spoken in your heads with a monotonous, slow bored voice. except not bored, just sounding bored because its tired. thats me

so yeah. robbies procrastinating from slumbation now too.

ya know whats mysteriously cool? that glimpse of perfection that you get, that smell that passes by that reminds you of some incredibly distant memory, possibly before your life, and that moment is perfect? a glimpse of eternity so close that you can grip it, but it is blown away in the invisable winds of perpetuality. is perpetuality a good word to use here? i wanted to say something about carrying on, but making it more fancy. time for a new paragraph?

Yes. So its like you get such infinite joy in that split second you experience this perfect waking dream, but the moment you feel it you lose it, and you are infinitley unsatisfied with anything else but that source of the joy. Maybe this is what Heaven will be like, except with infinite satisfaction? why am I still awake?

Overseas in 4 weeks to this day. Its too late to back out now, otherwise im paying a huge amount of mula for nothing. I spent the most amount of money ive ever spent in my life this week - $3200ish. On my air ticket. And i keep questioning myself:

Why am I going?

And to tell you the truth, i dont truely know. if i didnt tell you this in all honesty, i would be lying.
So, reasons?

Escapism? Realisation of true selfism? Deeper understanding of Godism? Procrastination from the 'REAL WORLD' ism?

The only real reason I keep coming back to is that I know God wants me to go, so Im pretty much just doing it for Him.

Something else to wrap this rambling up?

Man Im tired. Ummm, flip i dunno. ha flip. It looks so lame written down.

Friends are awesome. I wouldnt mind a best friend though, ya know?

I grew up in a strong Christian home based in The Salvation Army, with two parents, an older sister and a younger brother.

Although I was brought up knowing the Bible, and knew to do my best to be good, I didn’t really understand why, and had no real connection to God. It wasn’t until I attended an Easter Camp when I was 13 that I felt God’s presence, and started to realise His huge love for me. It was during this time that I signed my name by Isaiah 6:8, fully committing myself to God working through me to do His will.

I was known to be a Christian at school, and did my best not to compromise my relationship with God by bending to peer pressure. I kept a small group of male friends through my later years of High School, and was one of their only links to Christianity. I did my best to be like Jesus to them, but after years of having no close Christian friends, I was often really discouraged, and felt alienated from my friends.

However, toward the end of my second-to-last year at school, God used me to help a Christian girl at school, who was in an abusive situation at home. It was then through her that I met some Christian friends who encouraged me, and helped me to grow heaps in God, and it was from that point on that I really had an intimate and personal relationship with God.

I am a very keen musician, and I feel that this is a powerful tool from God to inspire and motivate fellow Christians, as well as to challenge non-believers to question their own ‘reality’. I am looking forward to seeing God glorified through my music, and my life.
