You're invited to dig deeper into the depths of the Riches of who Jesus really was, and Is!
How is Jesus different than religion, as men "practice" religion? Did Jesus hold “services”? No. Did He have "bible studies"? Heavens no. Such a thing is found nowhere in Jesus' Life, even in the sixty years of His Church recorded in the Bible. Interesting?!
Life then, and now with Him, is very different than today's religions - as most think of, and experience "church" in their worlds. Did Jesus "take up collections" from the crowds? Did He really initiate building religious buildings, and paying salaries to a special caste called pastor, reverend, father, or clergy? Oh, NOW we're in trouble. :) Just askin'. :)
Did Jesus REALLY have a certain day on the weekly calendar for "attending" Him? Of course... He did NOT. Hmmmmmm. But, we think He does now? Hmmmmmm. A little hocus-pocus verse plucking from the sixty year Biblical record and we find the day "sunday" is only mentioned twice in all of those years, and neither mentions anything to do with "services" - not honestly. Hmmmmm. :)
It's actually kind of funny in a way, isn't it, that so many things we've always been told about "Christianity" aren't even in the Bible? :) Weird. eh?
So who IS Jesus, and what then does His church, His Body, His Bride LOOK LIKE?
Want to come even more towards Him, too, wherever you live? For more than 25 years together, we have. We just want to join those millions worldwide of the last 2000 years who have wanted the REAL Jesus, and to live in Him - the Warrior-Lamb, the King of all kings, the Vine, the Door, the Way, the Life!
Many have spent their daily lives, and even sacrificed their earthly lives at times, for this pursuit of the Living Jesus. Many have paid the highest price possible for having Jesus' passion: "consuming zeal for the Father's HOUSE."
Explore with us!! Things CAN change in the Body of Christ! We can! We will for the Lamb! Come on!!
Here's another weird thing. JESUS and HIS LIFE would be very attractive to any honest person who "loves the Light." ANYONE would be drawn to Jesus, and His love and holiness and truths, if they recognize in their hearts their deep need of Change - for and in Messiah, the Deliverer.
But, because of religion and its distorting lens, many millions of honest men and women have been turned off, or scared off, by attendance-based "religion." And rightfully so, in a way. Think about it.
In religious organizations and events where Jesus character, love, obedience, truths and His LIFE are not cherished or embraced - and are not "put into practice" - there is nothing "attractive" left for a discerning person.
Did Jesus really come to Earth from Heaven to "establish" social events, religious attendance, conscience salve, flesh-moving music and videos, slick programs and speeches, money-begging, hierarchical control, showmanship and entertainment, buying and selling of religious wares, superstitious ritual, empty traditions, falsified emotional placebo, and the often-resulting lifeless lives? That would not be Jesus.
He didn't do that then, and HE hasn't done that now.
The simple Biblical JesusLife called "church" and Christianity, the Biblical Life of Jesus and His daily loving, and telling, and LIVING His Word together and all around - has been replaced by something quite other, in our culture. That's everyone's choice, of course, but His Fruit does not accompany religions He has not authored, do not follow and heartily love and obey His Words, and yet use him as a "logo".
To those who turn down religions of externals and attendance and shows, and those who won't turn a blind eye to the contradictions, Bravo. :) To those who are holding out for the LIFE of JESUS, expecting to daily experience Him along with those in whom He lives... BRAVO!
The "great cloud of witnesses" and all the Angels of Heaven SHOUT together to you, "HOLD OUT for JESUS. As with the Pearl of Great Price, hold out for what is HIM!"
Jesus is AMAZING and wonderful EVERY DAY. You can't ATTEND Jesus. He is LIFE together in His People, His Body. That's what the Bible says, AND what those who knew Him experienced (1Cor.12, Eph.3:8-10, 5:27, Acts 2:36-47). If it's not that, it's not much of Him at all. He's real, and He is ALIVE again. And if He's involved, it SHOWS in daily lives Together, as it did around Him then. Accept nothing less around you daily, if it wears HIS Name!
But, OH MY. Here's the Deal: JESUS was slandered and murdered by, oddly enough, Bible-banging religionists - those who "would not" love and "would not" obey Him.
This site is about letting Jesus be JESUS - in His People - as daily and as wonderfully, as He has always been! It's about living the cross for others, so it's scary. :)
Lay down YOUR life for Jesus to have His Bride that the gates of Hell can no longer prevail against, because she's growing to be a “Bride who has made herself ready” for His Return!
This is Life to us: Jesus, born of a virgin and the Holy Spirit, is THE Eternal Life before time and creation, and into all of Eternity! He who spoke the Galaxies into Existence came to dwell amongst us in human frailty by choice, and was crucified out of jealousy. Against all reason, the Prince of Glory, God's Son, was conspired against and killed in an eruption of hatred by those who claimed to follow YHWH, and by the Romans.
Jesus, our Life, has taken both the penalty of sin to that Cross and a less popular thought, He has taken the power of sin to that cross! He was murdered - framed and assassinated by those with something to lose and much to hide and protect. As Paul said, "It is the same now." Our Savior and Head was actually killed, dead and three days in a tomb, and then set free by Abba YHWH from the power of death!
He was and is raised forever to live in the Power of Resurrection Life, the Second Adam for a new Race - consisting of all of those who have been born a Second time - by faith (this word in the Greek means "full abandonment!") into His Blood and Spirit.
Jesus, God's only Son, Emmanuel, "God with us" was caught back up to the Father's side, promising to Return in Triumph to finish the job of making His enemies His footstool. And in the meantime and forever He's given us "one another" and HIS Life together in His Spirit - "that same Spirit who rose Jesus from the dead."
His Spirit is real, living today in His Character and Priorities, His power over sin, death, and nature, in His Love, and in His imparted Hunger for Truth and Obedience to Father. The Resurrected Y'shua, Jesus, is now dwelling in all of those abandoned into His Blood as their only hope, identity and future! (1 John 1:6-7, 8-10, 2:3-4, 5-6, 9-11, 15, 17, 19, 23, 24-27, 29, 3:3, 4-6, 8-9, 10-13, 14-15, 16, 17-19, 24)
All that is truly HIS voice “shall cause the falling and rising of many—and be a sign spoken against—
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed.” (Luke 2:34-35)
