How Do You Think Jesus Feels About Christians Who Feel Deserving of the Adoration of Others and Salvation, because of All the Good Things They Do?

How Do You Think Jesus Feels About Christians Who Feel Deserving of the Adoration of Others and Salvation, because of All the Good Things They Do?

The following Bible passage lets us know that we aren't justified by what good people we are or think we are, but through the death and resurrection of Jesus. He gave His life freely despite all our sins!

Romans 4: 23-25 says: Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. [We are justified through Jesus' death and resurrection for us!]

When We Feel Too Unworthy to Have Faith in Jesus or We Ignore Someone Else Who Feels That Way, What Does Jesus Tell Us Through the Bible?

When We Feel Too Unworthy to Have Faith in Jesus or We Ignore Someone Else Who Feels That Way, What Does Jesus Tell Us Through the Bible?

We should read and share the following passages:
Romans 5: 1-2 says: Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God

Some feel unworthy, because of terrible events that have happened in their lives. They, somehow, feel this demonstrates their unworthiness of Jesus Christ's love for them.  

Share Romans 5:3-4 which says: And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope. 

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit Who was given to us. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:5-6

How Would Jesus Feel When He Overhears Us Talking to Others About How Someone Isn't Worth the Effort of Befriending, Sharing Our Faith, or Inviting to Church with Us?

How Would Jesus Feel When He Overhears Us Talking to Others About How Someone Isn't Worth the Effort of Befriending, Sharing Our Faith, or Inviting to Church with Us?

It's so easy to get caught up in looking at others through a worldly perspective. By that criteria, none is really worthy, but that's not what Jesus thought! He was tortured, died, and rose again, not for those who seem most worthy, but for all of us who sinners who come to love Him as our Savior. 

In Romans 5:6-8 it says: For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His Own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

If Push Came to Shove, Would We Really Be Able to Stand Up for Our Faith in Jesus?

If Push Came to Shove, Would We Really Be Able to Stand Up for Our Faith in Jesus?

In reading, I have been inspired about how the apostles and disciples of Jesus were willing to be persecuted and many tortured and killed for their faith. What would I do in the same situation?

In Romans 8:2-3 it says: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh.

I think this passage tells me that the disciples realized that although the legal system could take their lives, God gave them eternal life in Heaven with Him, because they believed in Jesus Christ His Son. Jesus gave His live for us and rose again, conquering all our sin and death if we believe in Him.

How Does Jesus Feel When We Get Concerned About the Opinions of Others and How They Might Look Down on Us as Christians?

How Does Jesus Feel When We Get Concerned About the Opinions of Others and How They Might Look Down on Us as Christians?

I get it! It's difficult to be a Christian in front of others. It's too easy to blend in with the shallow lives of others, because we don't want to be judged by our peers! 

I think this passage is saying that it's not the judgment by our peers that should really matter to us, but God who gave His Own Son for us. We should console ourselves with the comfort that Jesus gives us in times like this rather than just blend in with the crowd. 

In Romans 8:31-32 it says: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He Who Did not spare His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things. 

How Do You Think Jesus Feels About Those Who Give up the Good Fight of Faith in Him, Although Things Get Difficult and Our Efforts As Christians Aren't Always Appreciated?

How Do You Think Jesus Feels About Those Who Give up the Good Fight of Faith in Him, Although Things Get Difficult and Our Efforts As Christians Aren't Always Appreciated?

It says in Romans 8: 35-36: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long: We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

Jesus wants us to continue to Love Him regardless of what comes our way. We are supposed to stand up for our faith in Him even if it means we become outcasts or lose our freedom or lives! 

Romans 8: 37-38: For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  

How Do You Think Jesus Feels About People Who Say They Use the God Power Within Them, Rather Than Turn to Jesus in Prayer?

How Do You Think Jesus Feels About People Who Say They Use the God Power Within Them, Rather Than Turn to Jesus in Prayer?

There are those who think that they, as believers in Jesus, can make things happen the way they want through the God Power Within Them. Now, nothing in the Bible lends itself to this way of thinking and I've read the Bible from cover to cover 16+ times. Jesus wants us to turn to Him in all things, not some power we think we have through Him. Sure, some of the things that people "Will" to happen might happen, but that would be Satan at work accomplishing this to lead them astray. He would do this so they start focusing on the God Power Within them rather than their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

In Romans 9: 15-16 it says: For He [God] says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So then it is not of him who wills nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy."

How Do You Think Jesus Feels When People Ignore Those Who Have Made Poor Life Style Choices, Feeling They Aren't Fit to Become Christians?

How Do You Think Jesus Feels When People Ignore Those Who Have Made Poor Life Style Choices, Feeling They Aren't Fit to Become Christians? 

Jesus lets us know that we don't have to be perfect to become Christian. No one is perfect, regardless if we made poor life style choices or not. Jesus wants everyone to come to know Him as their Savior, not just the ones who fit into mainstream society!

It says in Romans 10:8- 10: But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

Would Jesus Feel We are Doing His Will If He Say How Hateful We Have Become As a Nation?

Would Jesus Feel We are Doing His Will If He Say How Hateful We Have Become As a Nation?

I would think it would make Jesus sad that even children are picking up some of the negative things that they see and hear via media, adults, and politicians that should be setting an better example for others!


In Romans 12: 21, it says: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 

How does Jesus feel when we are Wishy-Washy Christians?

How does Jesus feel when we are Wishy-Washy Christians?

It's much easier as a Christian to just try to blend in with others. It keeps from drawing potentially negative attention from those who might belittle our faith. But, how does Jesus feel when we are Wishy-Washy Christians?

Revelation 3: 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth.


How Does Jesus Feel About Those Who are Followers of the Ministers in Mega Churches and T.V. Evangelists?

How Does Jesus Feel About Those Who are Followers of the Ministers in Mega Churches and T.V. Evangelists?

I don't think Jesus would be too pleased that people place so much attention on the leaders of the church than on Him. He's the one who gave His life for our salvation, not the leaders of the church. There are some who adore these leaders as if they were Jesus.

In 1 Corinthians 1:12-13 Paul says the following: Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 

In 1 Corinthians 1: 9-10 Paul states what Jesus really wants from us. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement. 

Are We Ever Too Far Gone to Not Be Able to Turn Back to Jesus?

Are We Ever Too Far Gone to Not Be Able to Turn Back to Jesus?

In James 5:19-20 it says: Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

So, the answer is no. When we truly turn our lives around to Jesus, He is there welcoming us with open arms, regardless of our past. Not only that, Jesus encourages Christians to do their part to help refocus those who have gone astray!

Jesus is the Lord of Freewill. We have the Freewill to not choose Him, but it saddens our Lord terribly! Additionally, we have the Freewill to admit our sins and ask for forgiveness and be willing to let Jesus heal you from your past.

How does Jesus feel when we walk right by people who need our help or ignore their needs, while planning to get the newest iPhone, tablet, etc?

How does Jesus feel when we walk right by people who need our help or ignore their needs, while planning to get the newest iPhone, tablet, etc?

Nothing I've read in the Bible all these many times, lead me to believe that Jesus would be pleased with this. In James 4:17, it says: Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. 

It shows that Jesus knows what's in our hearts and can tell when we are ignoring the needy or things that need to be done on His behalf. He can tell when we are more focused on worldly things than His will for us.  We need to be mindful of this!

How Does Jesus Feel If We Talk the Good Talk, but Don't Follow Through with Our Actions?

How Does Jesus Feel If We Talk the Good Talk, but Don't Follow Through with Our Actions?


It says in James 2:14-20 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

This is an important passage for all of us!

How Does Jesus Feel About Us Paying Attention to the Rich and Famous and Neglecting Those Without Wealth?

How Does Jesus Feel About Us Paying Attention to the Rich and Famous and Neglecting Those Without Wealth?

It says in James 2: 1-9 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place, " and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool." have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called? If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors." 

I have to admit that I'm guilty of this one, as well, but it's important to know what Jesus wants, and to try to be open to being the Christian He wants!

How Does Jesus Feel When We Lose Our Cool?

How Does Jesus Feel When We Lose Our Cool?

I don't know about you, but I've lost my cool more times than I'd like to admit, but is that O.K.? Well, it says in James 1:19-25  So then, My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. 

How Does Jesus Feel About Those Who Say Hateful Things, but Profess to be Christian, but Can't be Bothered with Widows, Homeless, Etc.?

How Does Jesus Feel About Those Who Say Hateful Things, but Profess to be Christian, but Can't be Bothered with Widows, Homeless, Etc.?

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 1:26-27

It doesn't appear to this reader that Jesus takes kindly to those professing to be Christians, but are hateful in their speech. Nor does He take kindly to those who couldn't be bothered by orphans, widows, the homeless, etc. 

When We Blame God for Us Giving into Temptations, How Does Jesus Feel About It?

When We Blame God for Us Giving into Temptations, How Does Jesus Feel About It?

It says in James 1: 12-15: Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted of God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Need I say more?

When We Don't Know What to Do, What Does Jesus Want from Us?

When We Don't Know What to Do, What Does Jesus Want from Us?

The Epistle of James says in 1:5- 6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who give to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 

So, when I pray asking for Jesus' guidance in a matter, I need to pray in a way that conveys that. I might say, "Dear Lord, I don't know which decision to make in this particular situation, but You, O Lord, do. Please guide me and have me open to only making the decision that You want and not what I might want. Please make me gracious in my interactions with the others involved and give me the willingness to listen to Your guidance. I ask this in Jesus name if it is Your will. Amen."

How Does Jesus Feel About People Who, Call It Like It Is?

How does Jesus feel about people who, Call it like it is?

It says in James 1: 26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

Also in James 3:3-10  Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.  For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing, My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 

These Bible Passages don't appear to me to be saying that Jesus approves of us Calling it like it is, especially when to do so is hateful or undermines the opinions of others!

How Does Jesus Feel About So Called Criminals?

How Does Jesus Feel About So Called Criminals?

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them-those who are mistreated-since you yourselves are in the body also. Hebrews 13:2-3

So, are we better than common criminals? The answer is no! It amazes me of how easily we have deluded ourselves to thinking we are better than others by comparison to someone who seems to be in a worse state.  I'm not that heavy, because, at least, I don't weigh as much as so and so!

Yeah, I may have fudged on my taxes some, but at least I'm not as bad as those common criminals in jail. We are reminded through this verse that we are all in the body [of Christ.] It appears to me, that Christ doesn't want us getting high-minded thinking that we are better than them. 

This isn't just saying that we shouldn't think that we are better than others, but to befriend some who look less than desirable, because who knows, for by so doing some have entertained angels. How are we going to have these experiences that Christ puts in our lives, if we are too busy judging others?

How does Jesus feel when we look up to the rich and famous and try to emulate them and their good fortune?

How does Jesus feel when we look up to the rich and famous and try to emulate them and their good fortune?

It's confusing, at times. You would think that those who are rich and famous are really blessed by Jesus and those who have little are not, but that's not accurate! You'll see that in the verse below:

Exodus 33:19 And He said, I will make all My goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

There are times when I felt that I was being punished when I didn't have things as easy as my siblings. In hind sight, I realize that by having to work harder for things that weren't just given easily to me, helped develop my work ethic and my appreciation for what God has given me.

Sometimes, getting things on a silver platter is not what is best for us. Those things can undermine the faith and actions of many, although there are some who maintain their faith through it all. 

People used to look down on the handicapped or diseased, because they must have done something wrong that Jesus was punishing them for, when that really isn't the case. Sometimes, Jesus works through those with diseases and handicapping conditions to show His handiwork in their lives making them inspirations to others. 

When you feel pride for what you've accomplished, how does Jesus feel?

When you get up in feeling pride for what you've accomplished, how does Jesus feel?

Unfortunately, being a sinful human being, I've taken credit all too many times for the good things or ideas that I've been given. I'm very fortunate that Jesus is very forgiving if we ask Him, because it states clearly in this passage, that God does not like us taking credit for what He's done on our behalf!

Deuteronomy 8: 13 And when thy heards and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might humble thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship then, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 

How does Jesus feel about those who take His Word [the Bible] and turn it around to support whatever point they are trying to justify at the time?

How does Jesus feel about those who take His Word [the Bible] and turn it around to support whatever point they are trying to justify at the time?

That's called taking the Bible out of context, which means that they pull out verses to share with others that sound like they support the particular subject they are talking about. It becomes apparent when you read about a chapter [about a column] before that verse and a chapter after it.

The reason this is so significant to me is that when I was a young adult, a couple did this and used many verses in the Bible out of context to prove my faith in Christ was wrong. I was so confused and went home to look those verses up. When I did so, I found that the literal meaning of the verse by itself may sound like it supported what they said to me, but when I read everything before and after it, it was talking about some war situation or some other unrelated topic to what they said it supported.

If I could get confused by people taking things out of context, then it can happen to anyone! Double Check and make sure that those you listen to, whether it's friends, ministers, TV evangelists, other Christians are using the Bible verses they are quoting accurately and that they really pertain to the topic being discussed according to how it's used in relation to the rest of the chapter in the Bible. 

Revelation 22: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book, 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away His part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

How Would Jesus Feel About Those In Our Country Who Are Becoming Numb to the Critical and Hateful Actions of Politicians to Those of Other Races, Those Who are Asylum Seekers, or are Innocent Citizens in Countries not Preferred by Ours?

How Would Jesus Feel About Those In Our Country Who Are Becoming Numb to the Critical and Hateful Actions of Politicians to Those of Other Races, Those Who are Asylum Seekers, or are Innocent Citizens in Countries not Preferred by Ours?

In Romans 12: 2 it says: And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 

Draw your own conclusions...It leaves a lot to be prayerful about!

How Do You Think Jesus Might Feel When We Say, "It Serves Them Right," When Children are Separated from Their Families While They Try to Enter Our Country for Safety or a Better Life?

How Do You Think Jesus Might Feel When We Say, "It Serves Them Right," When Children are Separated from Their Families While They Try to Enter Our Country for Safety or a Better Life?

In Romans 12:14-25 it says: Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 

When we are saying that it serves them right, we are not being the empathetic, caring Christians that Jesus would want!

How does Jesus feel when, so called Christians, follow after those who suggest that they should use the God-power within them to accomplish all their desires?

How does Jesus feel when, so called Christians, follow after those who suggest that they should use the God-power within them to accomplish all their desires?

For God, who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4: 6-7.

I realize that there are many who proclaim to be Christians and try to talk others into using the God-power within them to accomplish things, but that's definitely not what Jesus wants. God wants us to turn to Him in all things, believing that He will give us what is His will. God always sees the BIG PICTURE and knows what is best for us and what is not. Not all the things we pray for are really the best and sometimes there are things even better for us ahead, if we wait for God's timing! There is NOTHING in the Bible, and I've read it from cover to cover many times over the years, that even suggests that Jesus encourages us to use the God-power within us. Anything that might sound remotely like that is from people distorting God's word and using it out of context!

When Our Country Gets even with Other Countries by Waging a Tariff War, How Do You Think Jesus Feel About It?

When Our Country Gets even with Other Countries by Waging a Tariff War, How Do You Think Jesus Feel About It? 

According to the following passage, I don't think that Jesus would be too pleased with it. Additionally, we are putting many farmers and farming related industries in financial jeopardy while we are getting even with other countries by instituting a Tariff War!

In Romans 12: 17-18 It says: Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men

How does Jesus feel about us making sure we pay a little less to Uncle Sam, so that we can keep a little more of what we earn?

How does Jesus feel about us making sure we pay a little less to Uncle Sam, so that we can keep a little more of what we earn?

I get it! It's difficult to let that hard-earned money slip through our fingers, especially when we don't always feel that our tax money is going to things that are beneficial.  I know, because I got caught up in this very thing one time, all along thinking I was a good Christian.

I started a side-line business years ago for the sole purpose of being able to utilize all the tax deductions that this afforded me. But when I read the following passage, I realize that my financial goals weren't aligned with what Jesus wants of me. After being prayerful about this, I quit the side-line business. That doesn't mean that having a side-line businesses is wrong. It was that my ultimate goal for doing the business was not aligned with what Jesus says below:

Mark 12: 16 And they brought it [a coin]. And He [Jesus] saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto Him [Jesus], Caesar’s. 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that re God’s.

Are you tight rope walking and trying to balance fitting in with your friends who have all the latest of everything and trying to also maintain your faith in Jesus?

Are you tight rope walking and trying to balance fitting in with your friends who have all the latest of everything and trying to also maintain your faith in Jesus?

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

It's not a popularity contest where Jesus is concerned! It's not supposed to be a balancing act. We are clearly supposed to chose Him and make decisions accordingly. It's too easy to let fitting in with your peers and having the latest of everything like they do become more important than even Jesus. Are you trying to balance both?






How does Jesus feel about our dickering with Him over things?

How does Jesus feel about our dickering with Him over things?

How many times have we prayed to Jesus and said, "Jesus, if you would only do this for me, I will most certainly do this for you (be more faithful, be a better Christian, go to church more regularly, etc.)?"

Ananias and his wife decided that they would sell their property and give all but a certain portion of the money to help support the followers of Jesus in their work. Now, when they presented the money from the sale of their property, they said that they were donating ALL the proceeds to further the spread of the message of Jesus' Resurrection from the dead. They didn't have to give all their money to this cause, but it was because they formed a plot in their heart to defraud God and make it look like they were such pious Christians, that they had the ultimate punishment. Do we dicker over things with Jesus, as well, but not follow through on what we promise?


Acts 5: But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

How does Jesus feel when we let our Stuff, become a focus in our lives instead of Him?

How does Jesus feel when we let our Stuff, become a focus in our lives instead of Him?


Now, even though I pride myself at not having a worldly focus, Satan sneaks us and puts a wedge in between our relationship with Jesus and our desire for worldly things. You may be someone like me who says, "No way! I don't care for worldly items!" But is that really true?

If there were a flood, what would I go back and grab? ...my wallet...my family photos...that outfit that I saved and saved for over months...my iPhone...my Coach purse...and the list goes on. You get the point!  Any possessions we would go after, has some kind of worldly hold on us and we don't want worldly things to possess our soul.

In the following Bible verses, we are warned: Luke 17: 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. [She turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back after being warned.]



How does Jesus feel about our need for recognition from others whether from work, our friends, or at church?

How does Jesus feel about our need for recognition from others whether from work, our friends, or at church?

Galatians 5: 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

According to this Bible verse, we shouldn't be seeking out recognition from others, even those at church. It's a competitive thing, sort of recognition for all we do or how clever or bright we are and that's not what Jesus wants in our lives! It's like we are saying the opinion of others matters more than the opinion of Jesus... something to think about!

If you get caught up in the latest fashion styles or decorating styles, what do your actions say to Jesus?

If you get caught up in the latest fashion styles or decorating styles, what do your actions say to Jesus?

Since we are all human, it's very easy for us to get caught up in the latest trends of fashion, decorating, etc., but that's not what Jesus wants for us. He wants us to focus on Him and not styles or other worldly things that only give temporary pleasure. He wants us to focus on our faith in Him, so that we can have eternal life and pleasure with Him in heaven forever!


1 John 2: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.



When you are tempted to acknowledge the opinion of some that our faith in Christ our Savior is some made up fairy tale like Santa Claus, how does God feel about that?

When you are tempted to acknowledge the opinion of some that our faith in Christ our Savior is some made up fairy tale like Santa Claus, how does God feel about that?


2 Peter 1: 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount.

The disciples and up to 500 hundred other people saw Jesus after He arouse from the grave as Jesus had foretold them before it ever happened as proof, so that they would believe He really was and is the Son of God. They, being weak humans, as we all are, didn't believe that He really would arise from the dead, but He did and then they knew He is really the One True Savior and Lord of all. 

That's why so many of the disciples were willing to give their lives and be tortured on behalf of Jesus when authorities tried to get them denounce His existence. How many people would knowing allow themselves to be tortured and killed for a lie? They would have denounced Jesus as the arisen Lord if that were the case, but they gave their lives, because they believe in Jesus, because they saw Him after He arose and ascended to heaven. Do your actions say that you believe that Jesus is the risen Lord?

If you mention the name of other gods and act as if all are the one true God as some say, do your action say you are doing the will of God?

If you mention the name of other gods and act as if all are the one true God as some say, do your action say you are doing the will of God?

Usually, I include additional information, but none speaks to this question like the following Bible verses!!!!


Exodus 23:13.And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto thee it was shown that thou mightest know that the LORD He is God, there is none else beside Him.

Psalm 96:5.For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Isaiah 42;8 I am the LORD: that is My Name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.

Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of Hosts; I am the First, and I am the Last; and beside Me there is no God. 

Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even My witnesses.  Is there a God beside Me?  yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself.

Isaiah 45: 5-6.I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me: that they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none beside Me.  I am the LORD, and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:18-19.For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.  I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else: I am God, and there is none like Me.

Isaiah 48:12-13.Hearken unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last.  Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call upon them, they stand up together.

Habakkuk 2: 18-20.What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?  Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.  But the Lord is in His holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before Him.

When Christian Scholars or those with Christian Training act better than others, would Jesus approve?

When Christian Scholars or those with Christian Training act better than others, would Jesus approve?

It doesn't say in the Bible that people have to be Christian Scholars to be saved.
It doesn't say in the Bible that people had to have lots of Christian Training to be saved.
It doesn't even say in the Bible that a person has to have an education to be saved.

In fact, these people may or may not actually be saved, depending on their relationship with Jesus.   

It says in Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

It says nothing about being a scholar, having training, an education, or any other thing that people might lead you to believe. The Bible says:  If thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

How does Jesus feel about you listening to T.V. Evangelists that ask you to send them money with the implication that will help you be saved?

How does Jesus feel about you listening to T.V. Evangelists that ask you to send them money with the implication that will help you be saved?

Jesus didn't ask anyone to give Him money... not so He could have a faster more modern donkey, or even a better house to entertain others while sharing His faith. 

Although I can't totally know for sure how Jesus feels, I feel led to tell you that all too many T.V. Evangelists that I've seen on T.V. have fancy cars, fancy houses, fast planes, etc. You can't tell me that having these worldly possessions parallels what Jesus did. The Bible says: And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head.  Matthew, Chapter 8, verse 20.

In my opinion, these T.V. Evangelists should live a more humble life, more in keeping with the way that Jesus lived, although I don't really mean that they shouldn't own a house or a car, but a modest one. Jesus would have used any money donated to help the less fortunate in keeping with these Bible verses.

*And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.  Leviticus, Chapter 23, verse 22.

*For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh rewardHe doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.  Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.  Deuteronomy, Chapter 10, verses 17-19.

*If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.  Deuteronomy, Chapter 15, verses 7-8.

*When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.  When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.  When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.  And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.  Deuteronomy, Chapter 24, verses 19-22.

*For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.  Psalm, Chapter 9, verse 18.

*Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.  The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and Thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.  Psalm, Chapter 41, verses 1-2.

*The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.  He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.  Proverbs, Chapter 14, verses 20-21.


*When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.  Isaiah, Chapter 41, verse 17.


How does Jesus feel when we are embarrassed when others put down Christians and we say nothing?

How does Jesus feel when we are embarrassed when others put down Christians and we say nothing?

This is a truly difficult situation. I know, because I've been in it and don't know that I always fared too well. I've stayed silent, so that I didn't draw the wrath of others who were putting down Christians, I'm very ashamed to say. It's especially difficult when someone is standing there, putting down Christians saying, give me the proof. 


The Bible says in Romans 1: 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Although I can't take away all the times that I didn't stand up for my faith the way Jesus would have wanted, He still forgave me when I asked Him and in that, I am so very, very blessed!

I've prayed for ways to help people come to know and love Jesus and all He's given for our salvation. Although I'm not always quick with giving proof to those who challenge the Christian faith, Jesus has led me to create blogs that show this proof.

How does Jesus feel about us Self-Righteous Christians who judge others as not worthy of salvation?

How does Jesus feel about us Self-Righteous Christians who judge others as not worthy of salvation?

So, if we get so caught up in feeling Self-Righteous in our faith in Jesus and judge others, are we really being the Christians that Jesus wants us to be?

In the Bible it says in John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

God didn't send His only begotten son, Jesus, to be born to condemn the world, but to save it, although we are all sinful. Don't you think He wouldn't want us judging the world, but would prefer for us to focus our energy on being better examples of the positive impact Jesus has had on our lives, and lead others to faith in Jesus.



It's easy for people to take pride in their faith in Christ, but does Jesus to look down on others who aren't Christian?

It's easy for people to take pride in their faith in Christ, but does Jesus to look down on others who aren't Christian?

Jesus doesn't want us to look down on others, period. We aren't better than others, but saved by the grace of Jesus, which is available to all who believe in Him. That doesn't make us better than others. Besides, if we are looking down on others, how are we being good examples of how Jesus works in our lives? Will those people be open to us sharing our faith in Jesus when we have a self-righteous attitude? ...something to be prayerful about.


It says in 1 John 4: 9: In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.



How does Jesus feel when you divert your gaze from those who look like they've done drugs or made some really poor lifestyle choices?

How does Jesus feel when you divert your gaze from those who look like they've done drugs or made some really poor lifestyle choices? 

We're all human, but when we divert our gaze from others, we are showing disapproval of them or their choices. Is that really what Jesus would want us to do????


In the Bible it says in Hebrews 13: 1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

After reading this, don't you think that at the very least, Jesus wouldn't want us turning our heads away from these people or giving a sneer of disapproval. If we were to injure our back and were prescribed pain killers and became dependent on them, wouldn't we want others to be understanding of what we might be going through? Wouldn't we want others to treat us like worthwhile human beings? Wouldn't we want people to smile at us as they cross our paths? 

What's a smile cost? It's a very easy thing to share and says that we see that person we smiled at as someone worthwhile, a child of God. Think about sharing more smiles instead of diverting your gaze from those you formerly disapproved of. 

What does Jesus want if we are in a conversation with someone who wants to be in control of the conversation, who is argumentative or just plain negative?

What does Jesus want if we are in a conversation with someone who wants to be in control of the conversation, who is argumentative or just plain negative? 

This is a tricky one. It's easy to want to out argue someone who wants to be in control or is argumentative or negative. Usually, trying to argue with these people isn't productive. It just makes us look just as bad as the other person and usually these rebuttals doesn't do much to enlighten that person on whatever issue is being discussed.   

In the Bible it says the following in Romans 12: 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Sure, this sounds easier than it really is. When I get in situations of this nature, I try to say a quick prayer and listen for the instincts Jesus gives me.  Saying something like, "I prefer not to argue about this topic," "I have a different opinion on this topic, but chose not to be in a heated debate about it, " or "I think we should agree to disagree on this topic." 

If some one does something to make you mad, should you cut your losses and ignore them, but is that what Jesus wants?

If some one does something to make you mad, should you cut your losses and ignore them, but is that what Jesus wants?

It's easy to get upset with people who were less than patient, less than understanding, who were rude. I feel that way myself sometimes. It's easy to give up on those people and consider them a lost cause, but is that what Jesus wants?

In the Bible it says in Luke 17: 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

When I read this, I think about the flip side of this conversation. We all get irritated, impatient, and have been rude with others, depending on what is going on in our lives at the time. Do we want all those people to cut their losses and to ignore us? Don't we want them to cut us some slack and realize that maybe we just had a bad day, but we're not normally like that? I know that I do, what about you?

Note: Jesus isn't saying through this Bible verse that if we are in an unhealthy, abusive relationship that we should continue to forgive the abusive person who apologizes, but continues to abuse us. That's a whole different situation and Jesus understands that!

People Talk to You About Jesus, but You Sometimes Doubt, Is It Worth the Gamble?

People Talk to You About Jesus, but You Sometimes Doubt, Is It Worth the Gamble?

It's easy to get confused, but it's important to be prayerful instead of letting the things we hear, read, or our doubts get the best of us. For Revelation 22: 12-16 says: And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murders, and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star. 

Is it really worth the gamble that Jesus isn't the Savior? I don't know about you, but I don't want to take the chance that doesn't lead to being in Heaven someday with my Lord and Savior!

When You Feel So Alone, Do You Forget What Jesus Has Told Us?

When You Feel So Alone, Do You Forget What Jesus Has Told Us?

I think we all feel lonely at one time or another, but do we feel like Jesus has abandoned us? If we love Him, He says in Revelation 21: 3-4: And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. 

When things get to feeling overwhelming, we need to remember Jesus won't turn His back on us and as long as we love Him as our Savior,  and when He calls us to join Him in heaven, there will be no more worldly problems or pain.

If We Say We Are Christians, but Only Minimally Have a Relationship with Jesus, Are We Christians?

If We Say We Are Christians, but Only Minimally Have a Relationship with Jesus, Are We Christians?

That's a tricky one and only Jesus can answer that. What I do know is what it says in the Bible in Revelation 3:15-16: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 

It's not to late to change your relationship with Jesus. All you have to do is pray and tell Him you're sorry and what Him to be in control of your heart, life and choices. He will if you ask Him, but not just one time, you have to have an on-going relationship with Him. It says in Revelation 3:19-20: As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten [discipline]. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  

If We Allow H-A-T-E into Our Lives, Are We Jesus' Followers?

If We Allow H-A-T-E into Our Lives, Are We Jesus' Followers?

It's common these days, especially on the media, to see people saying hateful things, treating others hatefully, and even protesting for the right to maintain their hate of others. How does Jesus feel about this?

In 1 John 4:7-11 it says: Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifest toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation [the atonement] for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 

When Some Christians Say Jesus Wants Christians to Have Things Like: Fancy Cars, Houses, High Paying Jobs, Are They Right?

When Some Christians Say Jesus Wants Christians to Have Things Like: Fancy Cars, Houses, High Paying Jobs, Are They Right?

Do you really think that's true? I was watching a popular TV Evangelist when I was staying in hotel one time. I had watched him a couple of times to see why so many people are mesmerized by him. I found some things to be inspiring, but realized when he was talking about his fancy cars that time, that that's not living the way Jesus did. It says in the Bible in 
Luke 9: 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.

I realized that when I hear, so-called Christians saying it's OK to have worldly things, because Jesus want us to be Happy, he's not aligned with the example Jesus gave us. It says in 1 John 4:1-6: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world, Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 

When We Look to Our Political Leaders As Role Models and Get Caught Up in Hatred of Others, Are We Letting Jesus Abide in Us?

When We Look to Our Political Leaders As Role Models and Get Caught Up in Hatred of Others, Are We Letting Jesus Abide in Us?

It makes me wonder how Jesus feels about all the hatred and bias we see in the world today, some of it spurred by the negative actions and rhetoric of those at the top. Who are we supposed to follow?

1 John 2: 23-24 says: And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He [Jesus] in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

When We Say They Should Go Out and Work if They Need Food, Instead of Giving to Those in Need, Are We Listening to Jesus Wishes for Us?

When We Say They Should Go Out and Work if They Need Food, Instead of Giving to Those in Need, Are We Listening to Jesus Wishes for Us?

We hear others say it all the time and it makes some type of sense, but are we really doing what Jesus wants when we turn our backs on the less fortunate?

It says the following in 1 John 3:16-18: By this we know love, because He [Jesus] laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.  

Does It Bother You When Your Friends Smirk or Might Talk About You When You Stand Up for Minorities?

Does It Bother You When Your Friends Smirk or Might Talk About You When You Stand Up for Minorities?

Jesus wants us to stand up against those who talk down or make fun of those of other ethnicity or those who or are less fortunate. When what our friends say or how they look at us bothers us, we are letting them becoming false gods in our lives. We are letting their actions dictate what we do or don't do. Do you really think that Jesus wants us to pay more attention to what our friends or society as a whole thinks of our actions or what He thinks?

1 John 3:13-14 says: Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother [other people] abides in death.

When We Get Fearful About The Events in the World, Are We Showing Our Trust in Jesus?

When We Get Fearful About The Events in the World, Are We Showing Our Trust in Jesus?

It's easy to become fearful with all the natural and unnatural events happening in our world today like: hurricanes, fire after fire, tornadoes, ice and snow storms beyond anything in the past, and earthquakes.  

Now, I can't tell you that these aren't the signs that the end of the world is near, because no one knows the time of the end and each day is one day closer. I can say that we shouldn't wait until it's too late, thinking that when it's close to the end, then we will turn our lives and life-style choices into Jesus' capable hands. 

We all need to have an active positive relationship with Jesus, regardless of when the world is. One thing is, if we get panicky over the disasters, we aren't trusting Jesus to take care of us Christians through that time. 1 John 2:24-26 says: Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us-eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 1 John 2:28: And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.


How Does Jesus Feel About Us Looking the Other Way Instead of Standing Up for the Poor, Needy and Those Who Have Been Wronged?

How Does Jesus Feel About Us Looking the Other Way Instead of Standing Up for the Poor, Needy and Those Who Have Been Wronged?

Jesus says through the Bible: Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9

This is so hard. Every day there are things that are on the news that show people being ostracized because they are poor, needy, or have the wrong skin color or culture according to some. Well, Jesus wants to know what we are going to do about it. Are we going to just ignore it or stand around condoning the negative comments that are so prevalent today about how these people deserve their fate, but not our help?

I don't think this is what Jesus wants of us. It's not always easy to stand up for others, but Jesus stood up for us and even gave His life to save us from our sins. Jesus will let you know what you need to do on His behalf of these people if you are prayerful, even if it's to write a blog post helping others to become more aware of what He wants on their behalf.

Remember Jesus says through the Bible: Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.Isaiah 1:17
