Opposite of Jesus II


Opposite of Jesus II

Ever since I had my revelation last weekend I have been struggling with what it means and what to do with it. First I think it is a good thing because I realize I can still hear from God on what needs to change in my life and I was beginning to think I was perfect, now that I know I am not I must find how to deal with the situation.
I first need to realize that I think it is human nature to have greater sympathy for those whose burdens you share, that is part of the definition of sympathy. And the Bible says Jesus was tempted in ever was we are so his sympathy is real. I am not tempted the same way everyone else has been, as I discussed before.
I used to discuss things with a friend of mine and I could understand how people just didn’t fix their situations, “Not everyone can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps” he would tell me. He is right and I need to understand that, but I don’t. If I don’t like something I fix it. I didn’t think I was getting paid enough at my last job so I got a new one, I didn’t gripe, I just fixed it. Some people need a little more help.
Jesus acts as our Prophet Priest and King, most people understand that at an intellectual level but most of us have an unbalanced understand of those roles. Jesus has just acted as my prophet; he came into my life and pointed out my sin. As King he is sets the standards for my life. Now he comes into my life as priest, sympathetic to my needs to change. He has already sacrificed himself for my sin, but he doesn’t stop there, he is helping me to change. I need to change the way I think about people who suffer different vices than I do. It will be an ongoing process but it is one I look forward to.
