A Sentence Up Your Sleeve...
“That’s what I love about Jesus...”
QUESTIONS
- “What’s all this trinity nonsense?” asks a friend. What do you say?
- What are the dangers of speaking about an unChristlike God? Have you fallen into that danger?
- How would you complete that sentence in conversation: “That’s what I love about Jesus...”? What would you say about what first attracted you to Christ? What would you say about what currently attracts you to Him?
4 brought up some interesting reflections. When I first came to Christ, I came to Him because He was the Truth. I was looking for (as Justin Martyr would have put it) the True Philosophy, the real Way.
Now, my love springs for Him in that He overcame the darker realities that inflict the world with injustice and death and, even in me, the darker realities of my hopelessness and my own futility.
Perhaps my intellect was severed from my heart and as the two merged, the more the hurt came and He abounded more.

Nothing attracted me to Christ. I was dead in my sins and trespasses and was in full rebellion when He grabbed a hold of me through His Word.
I still struggle to be my own little 'god'...but He has a hold of me and refuses to let go of me.
Wow...what a God.
Hi theoldadam,
In the light of Paul's conclusion to his first letter (1 Corinthians 16:22) , are you OK with describing your faith as without attraction to Christ?
