If Jesus Is Not a Religious Leader, Then Who is He?

 Happy New Month everyone,

There is a popular verse made by Jesus in John 14:6 which says, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”” Many people feel the church which people have classified as Christians are just among every other religious organisation and have religious leaders. But, what makes Jesus not a religious leader, or what makes Him different from the rest? This is what I would discuss today.


Religion, as I explained before, is just a reaction of man in trying to reconnect with God in the way they feel. These attempts were done in trying to please God, so several doctrines were created which they felt was the only way in pleasing God. The religious leader all searched for completeness, for the truth, the way and what life really was.

Jesus did not come to create a new way to please God, what He came to do was to establish a brand new life. This new life is the life in God. Adam lost his life in God, and Jesus came to start a new life as the last Adam in order to save mankind which is why He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Jesus said, no one comes to the Father except through Him, which is true. Religion is having the lost life of the first Adam and trying to please God while still having the old lost life. Jesus did not come to do that at all. The religious leaders search for the way, they search what truth is, and they still search for what life truly is. This is to establish that they themselves know that the life they are living is not the real life. Jesus with full authority said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the answer to the questions the religious leaders having searching for all their lives.

Do not get things mixed up, Jesus didn’t establish a religion. He came to establish a brand new life for the whole world and not a set of people. He is the Way, the Truth and Life.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
                    
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Log on next time.
