Jesus Understands Having Bad Experiences With Religious People

Many people ignore or refuse Jesus because of a bad experience with religious people. But know this, Jesus also had bad experiences with many religious people. They had Him executed. Religion will not save you. Being born again into the Kingdom of God in a relationship with God through Jesus by His Spirit is the only way to be saved.

A Call of Transformation

Jesus didn't eat with sinners and tax collectors because He wanted to appear inclusive, tolerant, and accepting. He ate with them to call them to a changed and fruitful life, to die to self and live for Him. His call is transformation of life, not affirmation of identity.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

 "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life..." - Jesus

When we are finding the way to live, love, or relate, we are finding Jesus, for He is the Way.

When we are hearing, speaking, or receiving Truth, we are hearing, speaking, and receiving Jesus, for He is the Truth.

When we sense or recognize Life in people, places, or opportunities around us, we are sensing and recognizing Jesus, for He is the Life.
