Luke 6:47 “Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:”
Christianity is about a Person. It is not just some list of rules or rituals. It is not a culture or simply a way of thinking and doing things. It is a relationship with the Lord Jesus. The critical first step we see right here, ‘whoever comes to me’. We must come to Christ with a heart ready to listen, ready to follow. We must, as did His disciples, know that He alone has ‘the words of life’.
And this coming and hearing and doing leads to a life in which He is the all in all. Everything else is done in connection with the focus on Him. It transforms the individual. Nothing else is like it. Nothing else is significant in comparison.
Heavenly Father, thank You for having arms wide open to those who will seek Your Son. You have made salvation a plain proposition. We can see and know the way of life. You are so wise! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
