katTRIGGER WARNING: mention of suicide (though very brief)
In middle school, one of my friends came to school crying one day because she said her brother committed suicide. My best friend’s mother visited that friend’s mother to offer her condolences. When she did, the mother looked confused and said she didn’t have a son. My friend didn’t have a brother. She was an only child.
I believed my friend (the one who said her brother had committed suicide) for a long time until my friend (one of my closest friends since middle school) told me the truth. Initially, I wasn’t sure what to believe; I was only 12 years old and in the 6th grade. However, my friend had been best friends with that girl since they were in kindergarten. But as time passed, the truth was revealed. That friend continued lying; she was caught in many other lies, which destroyed her credibility.
That was one of the most defining moments of my life up to that point. That is when I realized just how deeply people could lie. The first time I realized people could lie was when my dad denied he cheated on my mother, which he most definitely did. He denied that he had hidden an entire family from us-a wife and two children who were his spitting image. Soon enough, he realized he couldn’t keep lying and admitted it.
People lie. You’ve lied, I’ve lied. We all tell lies, even if white lies. There are many reasons why people can lie or hide things. Some people lie to protect others; they have someone else’s best interest at heart, and they have good intentions. Or they lie for trivial reasons that don’t really harm others. I can understand that.
But pathological liars exist, and these kinds of liars lie for selfish reasons.
Why am I talking about lies? Because as we grow in life, you’ll find people like this. Which makes the path to finding the truth so difficult to reach. I think situations like the ones I shared above are the reasons why we all have trust issues. Sometime in our life someone lied to us, so terribly that it made us build tower-like walls that make it difficult to let anyone in.
It’s why when faced with something so incredulous or new that it is difficult for us to accept it, even if it makes so much sense- we’re hesitant to change our views or thoughts. We stick to what we know, because digging for the truth would force us to face a new reality. One where lies and truth are more challenging to figure out. A reality we didn’t really sign up for. “Hey, I’m just here for a good time,” you might think, “I didn’t ask for this!” The world didn’t prepare us to have to discern the truth so carefully, and we can see that in the era of social media.
I realized the truth when I sought to learn about God, but it did not come without its hardships. I had to discern truth from lies. Who knew that learning about Jesus would be such a mental battle?
There are many things I learned through bible studies, sermons, and resources I found online that constantly made me question what is true. Before joining bible studies and learning about Christ, my understanding of truth was completely different. I did not have nearly the same values, perceptions, or experiences I do now. What I was learning about God and Jesus completely contradicted my previous understanding. I felt this pulling and tugging of my values and thoughts.
When I was younger, a documentary in history class posed the theory that perhaps human beings had created religions such as Christianity out of loneliness, a desire to have a God, to find out why we exist- that maybe it was all a figment of our imagination. I accepted this as true for a long time.
Growing up, I even heard there is no conclusive historical evidence of Jesus’ existence. At some point, I heard someone online say that Jesus wasn’t celibate! Then in bible study, I learned Jesus was a real being (one who was celibate all his life), and there’s historical evidence of his existence.
I also learned about the spirit in bible study. The things I learned in bible study refuted what I grew up hearing from non-believing psychologists and scientists. They say ghosts or spirits don’t exist; it’s schizophrenia or some other mental illness. They claim it’s all a bunch of mumbo jumbo. What I learned also contradicted all the new-age and christian spiritual things I’d grown up hearing.
On the other hand, I learned much about science through bible studies that made a lot of sense and aligned with what worldly non-christian scientists say, defying what many fundamentalist Christians believe.
But for the things I needed help understanding or I wasn’t too sure about- I did the thing I’d always done- I googled. Growing up, I googled everything. Especially new vocabulary words. I loved doing that, going down rabbit holes of articles or books, and learning profound, new things I’d never heard of.
My Google searches looked like this.
Google search 1: Is Jesus Real?
Google search 2: What evidence is there that Jesus is real?
Google search 3: Are ghosts real?
Google search 4: Is heaven and hell real?
Google search 5: What’s the history of Christianity?
Google search 6: Is Jesus really the Messiah? (Well, first, I had to accept I needed help and saving. That took some Google searches, too, lol…)
And the list goes on…
I always had questions. I searched endlessly, and I questioned my bible study teachers endlessly. I’d always ask, “Why?”
A high school friend once asked me, “You know Kat, I notice you always ask ‘why’?” I felt embarrassed when she remarked that because I didn’t realize it. If someone commented that to me today, I’d say, “Well, why not?” I love questions and think I’d be an idiot if I didn’t ask any. How did Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein discover anything? How did any disciples who followed Jesus come to believe in him? Would any of them willingly give their life without first asking questions? Would you?
But somehow, the people who ask the most questions are often shamed. My desire in life is I will always be a patient instructor who answers questions kindly and commends people for asking them.
Truth takes time; otherwise, it wouldn’t be the truth but blind faith and belief. But, sometimes, I spend more time asking questions than searching for answers. If you ask a question, expect no response, and expect to spend more time finding the solution than asking the question.
Heavenly truth, Godly truth especially, is challenging to discern even if it’s right before you. One time I kept asking my pastor questions. Eventually, she stopped giving me answers and said something wise: “Pray about it.”
At the time, I felt frustrated. Why couldn’t my pastor give me the answer? Why keep it from me? Later, after praying, I received a response, and I realized prayer is the best confirmation. We tend not to value the things we receive quickly. If we struggle to find the answer, we make stories and memories that we can’t forget. Arduously searching for the truth and finding it affirms the truth more. When we pray and receive an answer, we realize it’s God speaking to us, and we can’t deny it. Finding the answer to your question yourself ensures you can’t deny it; you can’t mistrust your own revelation or experiences. You have to live it, take action to realize it, and find it’s true.
So when I decided whether I would believe in Jesus as a real being and accept him as my Lord and Savior…let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy decision to make, especially for someone who didn’t grow up believing in him.
I was being called to believe in Jesus and devote my life to him and become his disciple. That’s a big commitment, to say the least. It was a big ask for someone who’d never been concerned with things of faith and didn’t expect her life to go in that direction! So I needed confirmation if Jesus was asking me to do this. I wasn’t sure if I could trust this calling I felt.
So I kept doing bible studies. At first, I wasn’t sure if to trust the Bible to testify for God. Why should I believe in the Bible and Christianity over all other religions?
That took months and years of questions and research to understand. I couldn’t answer that question within this blog now; it’d be too long an answer. All you have to know is after a long time, I accepted the Bible as a reliable testimony for God.
How did I research? At first, I only googled, and I found a lot of stuff that affirmed what I was learning until I reached a point where I could no longer find enough or ANY information on the topics I had questions about.
Because no one knew about the things God was revealing to me, and the things I was questioning weren’t typical questions people have. Sometimes there are things God only reveals to you.
So then, as I’d learned in college, the next best thing is to talk to people when you can’t find the answer in a book. That, too, is research. If you can’t find the answer, write the book or the answer yourself. So I started asking people questions about God, biblical scriptures, and particular theological questions about concepts I’d learned about.
I talked to a ton of people. To my surprise, people were more than willing to share, especially if it meant an opportunity to testify for Christ and the things they had experienced. It was cathartic for them, I imagine.
When I couldn’t talk to people, I watched sermons, youtube videos, and testimonies, and I read books by Christians and non-Christians. I became an excellent listener.
But I still couldn’t find my answer.
Is Jesus really the Messiah? Is he real? What if it’s all a figment of my imagination? What if I’m being brainwashed?
I couldn’t see Jesus, even as some people testified how he had healed them in spirit and body. Even some people claim to have seen him in dreams and visions. I didn’t experience this for a long time.
Why is Jesus really the Messiah? And will he really return? Why? Why would he talk to me? Is he really speaking to me now through the Word?
How does one google those things and find answers? How can anyone reveal those things to me? Even when they did, I had difficulty believing their testimony and finding an answer for myself.
Then someone told me that if I wanted to discern the truth, I needed to stop reading things online and pray. It didn’t make sense to me at first. I constantly searched externally for the things I didn’t know. I was like a sponge, searching for truth everywhere.
They were right, though. Has anyone revolutionary or anyone who has come up with anything original discovered something from the internet? No. Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein indeed didn’t. Though they might have carefully (to not share too much of their genius) shared their ideas with friends and mentors who had similar perceptions as they did. However, to invent or discover something no one else ever had, they tapped into something internal and spent much time thinking by themselves.
As piercing and frustrating as it was to hear that I needed to pray, it was true. There are no shortcuts to revelations. No shortcuts to finding the truth. Only prayer can lead you to realize such a profound thing as believing and accepting Jesus Christ as your Messiah and choosing to follow him.
I prayed a lot in the early morning. Or late at night when I stayed up with my thoughts, going in circles, unsure what to believe. I prayed in the daytime, too, in the middle of my school day. I asked God to give me clear signs, repeatedly.
If the Bible was supposed to be the manual to life and God, then I needed to understand it. So I read it ferociously. In between my honors classes, in between work, at work, on the bus, and on the car ride back home at 9 pm after a long day of studying and classes.
I devoured the Bible, especially during the pandemic, reading it every morning or every night, or both. Before I knew it, I finished it. Cover to cover, yes, the whole Old and New testament. Then I wanted to reread it, as insane as that sounds, and I did for another 2 times and continue to.
But I didn’t just read the Bible! I had so many epiphanies! More than I could explain here, more than I’ve ever written about in my blog or my diary. Of course, I prayed, I talked to God, I made art, I cooked, I watched movies, I took walks, I searched for signs, and they found me in unexpected times and places- so much so I couldn’t deny them.
But I can share one instance in my life that became a big proponent of Jesus Christ. There was something I was really struggling with. I kept having nightmares about my emotional trauma and couldn’t quite make sense of or overcome it. I attended a Bible Study, which happened to be about what I was going through. In the Bible study, the lecturer mentioned something that no one would have known about me. I had never told anyone.
Jesus spoke to me through people in unbelievable ways. I was like, what the heck is going on?! How did they know that about me? LOL. Then I realized God is all-knowing and is speaking to me. Then it kept happening again and again.
I can’t convince you to believe in Jesus Christ because of what I say or think. Only God can convince you. I want you to have an open heart and mind to listen to both sides of the story. Keep asking questions. There is never just one side to a story.
Not choosing one side isn’t an option because by not choosing, you are choosing. Choosing not to see one side all the way through is also choosing to be on the opposing side (for whoever is not against us is for us and vice versa, Mark 9:38-41). It’s like a boat changing its course before reaching its destination. It’s like digging for a treasure and stopping midway.
God indeed reveals everything that is evil and everything that is truth. Truth changes your life, and even if it hurts a bit because you have to let go of everything you’ve ever known and get rid of your contradictions and ignorance- it is all worth it. The truth sets you free (John 8:32).
We like to believe the things that affirm who we already are. We think that’s wisdom. We like things that are easy to believe; searching deeper isn’t our priority. We think that’s freedom. And we all have different priorities, like ourselves, others, and the things that bring us comfort and joy-even if not necessarily good for us, even if they are sins.
That’s why it was difficult for me to believe in Jesus because it would force me to look into every part of myself, to feel the guilt and weight of my sins, to admit them, to repent for them, to change, to elevate, to improve, to strip myself of my own thinking, to become unlikable to the world, to be deprived of the things it celebrates, to transform the course of my life and the plan I’d made up for myself long ago. I had to choose; will I choose myself or God’s will for my life? I reached a point it became so clear God was calling me to become his, a person of the light.
People love the dark. They hate the things that bring their sin to light or the things that reorganize their priorities. My number one priority used to be myself and indulging my sin. Now it is Christ and indulging my counterpart of love, God.
If Jesus is the Messiah and speaks to me through his word, will I throw my only chance away, or will I seek the truth until the end? Even if it’s a challenge? Even if it tugs at my values. If they shake? If my values waver, they weren’t authentic or deeply rooted in me, to begin with…
The Pharisees were like this: people who stumbled on the cornerstone. They called Jesus a “prince of demons,” a sinner; they vilified him because they were jealous of him and because he spoke words that pierced their hearts. Not only that, but Jesus superseded their traditions and customs. They put God in a box. They thought, “A man can’t be the son of God; only the state of Israel is the son of God!” As it was then, it is now. They misunderstood him and crucified him.
When a sinful woman poured perfume on Jesus’ feet, they whispered assumptions about Jesus, making up stories about their relationship, why she kissed his feet, and why he allowed her near him.
Luke 7:36-50
“Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
In fact, in John 12:5, we see a similar instance is cause for Judas’ betrayal of Jesus. Judas misunderstood him.
“12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.”
In Luke 11:14-20, Jesus is called a prince of demons, who drove out demons because he was a demon. It didn’t make sense. How could someone who gives the word of life, saves people, and heals them, be someone who causes torment? How could he be a demon?
It is as it says in Matthew 7.
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”
I came to believe in Jesus because I saw his fruits; I witnessed the love and joy that people who followed him lived with. I became one of those fruits (people). How could such kind and happy people be wolves in sheep’s clothing? I came to recognize them as truthful people and believed their testimony because I witnessed the fruits of the word in their lives. I saw their loving actions; I lived with and watched them. I’d never met such God-loving people who practiced what they preached; then I realized they weren’t lying.
As I mentioned earlier, Jesus was vilified and called the “Prince of demons.”
Let’s look at Luke 11:14-20.
“14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.” 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.
17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.”
Things that aren’t from God always fail. God’s history continues to grow and that in itself is the proof. “You will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
Just look at Acts 5:38-39
“For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
Even Jesus’ own brothers didn’t believe he was sent by God, they did not believe him. Even back then, people slandered Jesus saying, “he deceived the people,” while pure-hearted people who saw the truth said, “he is a good man.” Read John 7:1-12.
Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles
7 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him. 2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. 8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”
Jesus testified for his mission, calling us to follow God’s will, to test if it is true by taking action on it. He also says something incredibly true here: you can recognize someone sent by God, by whether he glorifies himself or the one who sent him. Finally, we must judge not by mere appearances but correctly. Just because someone may not act or look like the one we expect God to send doesn’t mean he can’t be the one God works through. Listen with discernment because Jesus’ words may be present even if a person is speaking.
Just read John 7:14-24
Jesus Teaches at the Festival
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. 15 The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
20 “You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”
Even when Jesus was persecuted, even though they wanted to kill him, he continued to risk his life and boldly deliver God’s word daily, even to the very people who hated him. How could someone who risked their own life to give God’s word every day despite being persecuted- how could he be lying? Someone like that is either a crazy person or telling the truth and is the one sent by God. Jesus was the latter; he was the Messiah sent by God. Truth is revealed by deeds.
Just read Matthew 11:1-19.
Jesus and John the Baptist
11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.
2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
We see God as we are. I pray we will all change to see the Lord Christ as he is: pure and blameless.
Titus 1:15
“15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.”
Psalm 18:26
“To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26
to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
27
You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29
With your help I can advance against a troop
with my God I can scale a wall.”
We must be like the Samaritan woman by the well that when Jesus reveals himself to us through the Word, we proclaim the good news at the top of our lungs!
Read John 11:25
“25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
Or if that isn’t enough, read Hebrews. This is the God-breathed, divinely inspired scripture God wrote about his Son through the body of Apostle Paul!
Hebrews 1:3
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”
Or read John 8:48-58.
Jesus’ Claims About Himself
48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?”
49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham! 58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.”
When Jesus said, “Before Abraham was born, I am,” he said so as a representation of God, as the body God spoke through!
We can’t see God, but we can see him through Jesus and his Word. Seeing him is seeing God.
We must not lose our faith in Him; if we have, let us seek him again.
Even as we remain faithless, he remains faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). Remember everything you’ve learned, all the ways your life changed for the better when you heard the word of God, the strength it gave you, the stories you made with the Trinity! Don’t crucify Him all over again. Remember and trust Jesus. Jesus will never lie to you. Most of all, I hope you will feel Jesus’ love for you. There’s no greater show of love than his sacrifice.
Let’s not stumble on account of Jesus.
