Consider Jesus

What does it take to be made right with God? It’s a question I once chased across world religions—Catholicism, Buddhism, meditation, even Scientology. I thought sincerity would lead to truth, that all religions were essentially the same, and that what mattered most was how serious you were. But then I met Jesus—not just in name or history, but in Scripture. And everything changed.

Jesus didn’t come to teach vague spirituality or promote moralism. He came to seek and save the lost. In Mark 2, He is found eating with sinners, drawing near to outcasts, and touching the untouchable. When criticized, Jesus said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” He didn’t come for the cleaned-up, but the broken-down. He met guilt with mercy, shame with dignity, and sin with grace.

And yet, His compassion was not the full extent of His mission. Jesus didn’t just come to serve sinners—He came to save them. He lived a sinless life, then died the death we deserved. He bore God’s wrath at the cross, and three days later, rose from the grave, just as He promised. The resurrection is not religious metaphor—it is historical reality, confirmed by eyewitnesses who suffered and died to proclaim what they had seen: Jesus alive, glorified, victorious.

This is why Christianity is not just another religion. It’s not advice—it’s news. Not what you must do, but what Christ has already done. As Paul wrote in Romans 3, “All have sinned... and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”

So today, I’m not asking you to consider Christianity. I’m asking you to consider Christ. Don’t leave this Easter with a feeling—leave with a Savior. Say to Him: “I’m sorry. Thank You. Please save me.” And receive, by grace through faith, the gift of eternal life in Him.
