There are no situations or circumstances in the world right
now that wouldn’t be helped by a whole lot of Jesus. I don’t mean we need more church
or more worship music. I don’t mean we need a revival or more religion or evangelism or fundamentalism.
I don’t mean the Jesus invoked by some or rejected by others.
Who we need is the man who is the Son of God. The Jesus we
need is the Prince of Peace. He didn’t come to judge the world, but to save the
world. He warned us not to condemn so that we would not be condemned. The Jesus I’m talking about encourages us to
love God and to love each other; to treat each other in the way that we would like
to be treated. He told us to forgive, so that we would receive forgiveness. He
blessed the merciful and exemplifies justice and mercy and faithfulness.
This Man is a raconteur and asks more questions than He gives
answers. He is a true, righteous,
faithful friend. Jesus is the Light of the World and in Him there is no
darkness. He is the Rock that we can stand on when there’s shifting sand all
around. And Jesus is our Shelter from the storm. He is our Help and our
Salvation.
What the world needs now is Love, Sweet Love. And that is
exactly what Jesus is: Love. We who know Him need to represent Him well
right now, by exhibiting all of His qualities to our fullest. After all, He is our Good Shepherd and we should follow Him and His voice. Peace unto you.
