light

Jesus shouted, “Whoever believes in me doesn’t believe in me but in the one who sent me. Whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. I have come as a light into the world so that everyone who believes in me won’t live in darkness. If people hear my words and don’t keep them, I don’t judge them. I didn’t come to judge the world but to save it. Whoever rejects me and doesn’t receive my words will be judged at the last day by the word I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me regarding what I should speak and say. I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, whatever I say is just as the Father has said to me.” (John 12:44-50, CEB)

Jesus never said to believe in him, he pointed people to God.

Jesus also said here he didn’t come to judge the world but to save the world. If people hear the words he doesn’t judge them if they don’t keep them. So why do so many who claim to follow Jesus feel like they need to do something that Jesus never did and said he would not do?

We need to be light. Shine on God and show people love. Not judge them because they don’t accept it the way we expect them to.

Love like Jesus.

Do not judge.

Be Light.

Loving People. Loving God.
