Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, the life; no man comes to the Father but by me". One must have a relationship with Jesus.
He said " Enter by the narrow gate for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction". One must be determined and committed as in any worthwhile goal in life.
He said " Why do you call me Lord and do not my commandments" Lord means master and thus we are His servants who do His bidding. His name is Jesus. He is Lord. He is the Christ.
He said " Many will call me Lord, Lord; but I will say I never knew you" Many acknowledge Him but few serve Him.
He said "Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees you will not enter the kingdom of Heaven". The Pharisees spent 24 hours a day demonstrating their outward obedience to the Law but did not have the Spiritual commitment of love of their GOD and their neighbor.
These are only a few of Jesus' lessons to His followers that come to my mind at this time. I must read His Word continually to know His will for me and for the blessed assurance. I pray you will read and study His Word and not depend on man's thoughts and ideas for your life after death.
Happy Birthday Dutch.
