It seems normal and justified today to have anger and even hatred against those who want to do us harm, but Jesus taught that loving our enemies and praying for those who want to hurt us is the very thing that proves we are His children.

Culture would have us believe that you can have Jesus fit into your life, but Jesus demands that He become the single purpose of your life.

In a world that wants to erase Hell or the thought of any afterlife that isn’t pleasant, Jesus was very straight forward in saying that anyone who does not surrender their life in obedience to God will go to hell after death.

We can dance around it, we can try not to talk about it, we can even try to dress it up, but the fact remains that Jesus made no bones about telling the world that He was the one and only way to God.
