A MORE EXCELLENT WAY (2)

Continuing from where we stopped yesterday; one day a rich young ruler came asking Jesus “what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” in other words, what can I do having achieved the normal and ordinary to access what eye has not seen nor ear heard neither as entered into the heart of any man; and Jesus answered saying;

“Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy Father and thy Mother. And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up” Luke 18v20-21

This rich young ruler knew ‘ways’ such as great success in science and technology, degrees and fat certificates as well as awards too numerous to be counted but Jesus said to him;

“...Yet lackest thou one thing:” Luke 18v22

He thought he knew all he needed to know, he had known enough but Jesus pointed out to him that he still lacked one thing; and this applies specifically to the working class, both old and young graduates today if there is any desire or thirst whatsoever for moving to greater heights in life. In other words, Jesus was trying to tell him that, the way he was plying was good but there was a more excellent way to achieve more and better results.

I know you already have ways; you already have for instance a general definition for success which has been your life gauge. I have good news for you; you don’t have to go the general way because you wouldn’t accomplish any better than others do.

Hence you can’t be doing the same thing and expect any different result. You want different results in your work place? Improve on your inputs and your output will definitely change. The more excellent way is Jesus Christ, John 14v6.

Jesus is Love

In case you are already asking; but how do I then apply Jesus as it were, I have a much simpler and understandable version of Jesus which is Love. Now you can’t claim to Love Christ who you can’t see when you hate your brethren with whom you live and dine daily. 1Corinthians 13v13 says;

“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity”

The scripture simply means that Love is in no way ranking with faith and hope as important as they are to your profiting in your Christian race. Apostle Paul says it is vain to give all you have as alms without love being your drive. Study Romans 13v8-10, 1John 4v7, Ephesians 3v18-19

Conclusively, to go the love way; trafficate to your right and turn to Matthew chapter 25 street, house number 34-40 because the most potent display of Love is giving yourself and all you are to God by being blessing to everyone He places in your sphere of contact daily however, the more excellent way is the way of Peace, John 14v27; the way of Faith, 2Corinthians 5v7; the way of abundant life, John 10v10b; the way of the word, Joshua 1v8. You have suffered long enough; you have been on that same level long enough, it is time for you to arise because your light has come. Glory!
