 | How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him? a New commandment? |
To have intimacy with Jesus is to have a love-love relationship with him. You love him, and he loves you. Both of you are friends, trusting one another. Jesus says that the one who has his commandments, and keeps them, that is the one who loves him. He assures us that both him, and his Father would love such a person too. This is the essence of what he meant that...If you love me, keep my Commandments, and the Commandment is To love God with all your heart, mind, strength, and to love one another. By this people shall know that we belong to Him.In summary, therefore : To love Jesus Christ, and to obey his Commands are synonymous. By: Robert Ochen-Chagara

| If you had a one-on-one meal with Jesus, what would you discuss? |
At first it would seem entirely hard, trying to tell a Master who knows you in and out exactly what you are. In Him, there is no darkness-remember. But on second thought, I would really take him for what He is: The Lord and Savior. Firstly, He is standing at the door of my heart, patiently waiting for me to open up. I would therefore open it all to him: My life, job, marriage, relatives, health, even politics.
Secondly, I would love to tell him about my heavy loads of burdens, because I know I will be left with His lighter and easy load at the end of it all. There is no need to hide any sickness or symptom from a Doctor I trust to keep privacy, and to heal me completely.
Thirdly, I know dining with the lord and Master, would lead me into eternal dining-- bread and water for life. I would listen very attentively whatever came from his lips, knowing fully well that God`s word shall never go in vain.
Lastly, it would really be upon me to abide by his commandments-words. This shall be my love to him, and I know He shall love me more. And God the Father shall also love me more.
Finally, I would always remember to give him thanks and continue in the path he sets me on.By: Robert Ochen-Chagara

 | FOR EVERYTHING I ASK,SEEK AND KNOCK FOR JESUS CHRIST |
When I first came to accept Jesus Christ as my centre of life, in a Anglican Convent. Jesus Christ gave me this verse, Come to Me, all who are weary and heavey-laden, and I will give you rest. I am always seeking after the righteousness of Jesus Christ, the God of Israel, who is his father and the holy spirit. I first asked for guidance from christ when I was studying my bachelor of arts. I was also singing in a anglican choir. I studied English Literature and Environmental Studies. I asked for God to help me with my assignments and to help me complete my studies, as I am just an average student. I ask God for help when I am in trouble, for guidance. I asked help from Christ when I was studying Child Care, to help me deal with children, completion of my course and to find some employment. I have worked as a nursing assistant, clerk and child carer. I would like to be a mother when God permits it. I have studied with God and the Bible Study Fellowship, Genesis to Revelations. I studied Focus on Prophecy, with the seventh day adventists. I studied the old testament with the new testament. God has filled me with his spirit. The God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob. The God who said I am to Moses. Other names are Jehovah Jireh, Yahweh, Yahwah, Ancient of Days and Rock of Ages. Jesus Christ is my high priest. I take communion at church, for the forgiveness of sins and I have to forgive others who sin against me. Mary Magdalene stands for unconditional love. I know it is hard to forgive when you are in troubles and I am still learning this. God had given me the revelation that if you believe in Jesus christ, his son, then you don`t have to worry about the scourges of revelations. You have New Jerusalem or heaven with God to look forward too. Jesus loves me because the bible tells me so and he loves all of you too.By: sharron hill
