THE ESSENCE=
Of our CHRISTIAN FAITH!
It is a GREAT THING
To belong to
AN organized Christian religion/
And or the Catholic religion=AND I DO
But what is EVEN BETTER
Is to have=A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
With Jesus=it is
THE ESSENCE-OF OUR FAITH!
“What we have seen
And heard=WE PROCLAIM
Now to you……..”
1 John 1:3
Today we HONOR
The great Saint John=THE EVANGELIST
He is an EYEWITNESS
To the Resurrection=
And he KNEW Jesus personally
John tells us=He is TESTIFYING
To what he himself
HAS SEEN
With his own eyes
And TOUCHED=with his own hands
We may never know Jesus
As a person=but we CAN come close
By reading=THE WORD OF GOD
By developing=A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
With Jesus=it is
THE ESSENCE=OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH!
“Then he touched=their eyes
And said’=
‘According to your FAITH=let it
Be done to you’
And their sight=was restored”
Matthew
9:29
“Have FAITH in God’=
Jesus answered”
Mark 11:22
It is OUR DUTY
To God=and to others=to develop
A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
With Jesus
And to INSPIRE OTHERS
With our faith=
As we ourselves=ARE INSPIRED
By the faith of others
Through their
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH Christ
And to WITNESS=to everyone
That you can=UNTIL
The end of TIME
Just as John the EVANGELIST and apostle did
“ONE WITNESS=is not enough
To convict anyone accused
Of any crime=or offense=
They may have committed
A matter=must be=established
By the testimony=of
Two or three WITNESSES” Deuteronomy
19:15
“But you will=receive power
When the Holy Spirit
Comes on you
And you will be=MY WITNESSES
In Jerusalem=and in
ALL Judea and Samaria=and
To the ends of the earth” Acts
1:8
BE AWARE of
The PRESENCE of God=and Jesus
In your life
DEVELOP your PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
Just like John=and WITNESS=to everyone
And anyone=that you can
That is
THE ESSENCE=OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER FAITHFUL=Holy
Father God
