This question assumes that t...What would Jesus do?<br /><br />This question assumes that the questioner has sufficient knowledge and sufficient power in themselves to adequately accomplish this goal. Jesus and the apostles taught that human minds and powers were inadequate to live or do as Jesus would. (John 15:5; 2 Cor. 3:5; Romans 7, among many others). Therefore, to live the Christian life a human must allow God to live in, with and through them. Jesus will repeat the life he lived in his first body in anyone who chooses to exchange their human life for His life living in them. <br /><br /> Jesus is the first to exchange human life and abilities for experiencing the Holy Spirit and God the Father living in, with and through Him. Jesus is the first to allow God to live through Him while He was in His first body (John 14:10-11; Philippians 2:1-11). Instead of living in one human body, Jesus’ Spirit now lives in His New Body. Jesus’ New Body is the total number of people that have received Jesus into their lives. Now, Jesus can live His Life through each Christian and through His New Body in the same way that Jesus lived when He was on earth in His first body. This is the difference between trying to imitate Jesus through human life and radiating Jesus by His life. You do not represent Jesus as a Christian. You present Him. <br /><br />The majority of the church is still living as if they were in the Old Covenant. There needs to be an awakening to the fact that God moved on from that 2000 years ago. Christians will still operate under this concept when you hear them say “Lord, come be WITH us now” or “Lord, come UPON me now.” But, God moved on from this about 2000 years ago when He established the New Covenant. He was trying to get their mind around the fact that all three persons of the Trinity would live INSIDE of them, not WITH or UPON them. They would now be included in the fellowship that the Trinity has been experiencing throughout all of eternity.2nd man unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439995195742062630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222452151323724702.post-24568335348604287992009-06-02T21:16:43.202-07:002009-06-02T21:16:43.202-07:00"To want to admire, instead of follow, Christ..."To want to admire, instead of follow, Christ is not an invention of bad people; no, it is more an invention of those who spinelessly want to keep themselves detached at a safe distance from Jesus."<br /><br />Soren Kierkegaard, in "Provocations"Bet Hannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078249584996341777noreply@blogger.com
