and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53)
Some don’t know about of Jesus because they never heard of Him. Others are willfully denying Him. Somehow all people hope to go to heaven but fail to realize that Jesus Christ is our only hope of getting to heaven.
Many Christians are deluded into thinking that they will go to heaven but they are living a life without Jesus. Religion is the curse that has deluded so many people. People think that they are saved because they believe in Jesus. They are deluding themselves and others. Merely believing in Jesus can’t save you. Faith without action is dead. If you really believe in Jesus you will obey Him and follow Him every step of the way. Jesus said: "If you love me, keep My commandments." Jesus said:" Follow me. Once you stop following Jesus you are in darkness. Jesus said he will never leave us but that didn’t mean that we will not leave Him. He said that "if you withdraw My soul will have no pleasure in you". Also "he who endures until the end will be saved." Christians are either stupid or they like to believe lies because they sound good. Most couples don’t stay married nowadays yet they vowed,"for better or for worse", yet people believe nonsense such as "once saved , always saved." If yoy walk away the relationship ends, the same with Jesus, He holds nobody captive, He begged nobody to follow Him!
Most Christians started a relationship with Jesus but never continued. The only way that we can maintain a relationship is through continuous contact. You will not get to know Jesus better through church attendance or Bible study. You might pick up new friendships and get to know the Bible. The devil also knows the Bible and it does him no good. It is only when you pray and spend time with Jesus that you get to know Him better. Jesus said that if you are not born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God. Many Christians are born again dead. They die before they start growing. The only way that we can grow spiritually is through communion with Jesus. Only when you are in fellowship with Jesus the Bible takes on meaning, because the Holy Spirit will explain it to you. When you try an understand the Bible on your own, many things don’t make sense because you evaluate the Bible along the lines of common sense.
Jesus will say to many Christians: "Go away, I never knew you." Christians are proccupied with their own little projects "for" Jesus but often spend not time "with" Jesus. Churches keep people captive and lay heavy burdens on them in order to sustain the "church". Most of the time that is the only way they know because even the leaders have no knowledge about Jesus. They vasilate, right books about Jesus but have no knowledge of Jesus because they never had a relationship with Him. Jesus said: My sheep know My voice, and they follow me. Do you know Jesus’ voice or are you following a wolf? Let us get real: Do you want to know Jesus’ voice or do you choose to be deluded? Many preachers say they have never heard God’s voice and yet people follow them.
if you spend time seeking Jesus you will find Him. He will come to you quick! If you are satisfied with a 2nd hand story you run the risk of being deceived.
This is what the LORD says:
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD. Jeremiay 17:5
Sadly most Christians are deluded because they don’y seek the truth. They trust in their own understanding, which is flawed or they follow people. Jesus said "He who follows Me will have the light of life.
Make your choice today. Follow Jesus and live!
Yes, sadly most sheep just follow other sheep – not the shepherd.
