Page 611 … Witnessing to The Way
“God’s Word teaches us how to live holy lives and to be fruitful witnesses for our Lord.”
Yep, it sure does! Let’s take a quick look at what that Word says about how your Lord & Savior wants you to “bear witness” for him, my dear:
“If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my Love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his Love … And this is my commandment: that you Love one another just as I have Loved you.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 15:10-12)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who DOES the will of my Father in Heaven.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:21)
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged … Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? … You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your neighbor’s … You hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence … First clean the inside of your own cup, so that the outside may also then become truly clean … Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is the greatest in the Kingdom … Let [she] who is without sin cast the first stone.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-2 + Matthew 23:25-26 + Matthew 18:3-4 + John 8:7)
You then go on to state that, “You don’t even know who Jesus really is.”
Well, aside from the fact that neither you nor anyone else truly knows who he is either (or was, or will be), at the very least I am the one here who is actually living his Way – at least I am the one here who is actually following his teachings – at least I am the one here who is actually abiding in his commandments! And all this quite unlike you & yours, who instead are piously claiming to worship him as your personal Lord & Savior, all while simultaneously ignoring & even denouncing the humble Love that he so clearly wanted you to exhibit!
Lucy, it’s almost as though you are purposefully looking for ways to misread or misunderstand the very simple principles he so very clearly announced …
