Ya, Jesus saves us? So what?
Sunday, August 21, 2005
Someone post this question recently about this. You see, as Christian, Jesus was the main focus for our initial belief. It is Christ that made our salvation possible. It is Christ that we can learn how to live again. And because of what he had done, we decided to make the first step to live a different live of what we previously live in.
However, after taking the first step, it seen like the rest of what we live for is anything but Jesus. We go to church because we are free that day, we go to worship service because it is entertaining, or if the sermon is what we want or the speaker that day is suppose to be entertaining. We refuse to read the bible not because we cannot find things about Jesus there, but it just to time consumpting to do so. We look for entertainment in Church like as if we goes to watch a movie. If it is not good, we change to another. And the measure of goodness got nothing to do with whether the church teach more of christ or christlikeness, rather whether it is entertaining or not that the church use to talk about christ.
All we want is to get the "emm" from all this, but really, will we get it from Jesus? or it is more possible to get it from all this entertaining way?
Thus I ask this, Jesus saves us? but what does that got to do with our lifes after we accepted him as our saviour. The message that Jesus saves us seen to be more concern to a non christians rather than to some one that is saved. Or is it?
The fact is that we have replaced all the entertaining stuff with Jesus, such that now what make us going is how good worship service is done, how much are we getting the "high" time, but non about Christ.
But honesty, what does it mean for us to leave like it matters, that the message that first make us to make such drastic move to continue to move us.
I know one thing for sure... it is not this way.
