Our Anxiety and Jesus Christ

The level of anxiety, fear, anger and worry that we Christians live with is indicative of what we think of Jesus Christ. It’s difficult to hear that but it’s true.

He defines us, what we think of him determines how we react to reality, he defines how we react to the world system.

Because the more we meditate on him personally, and his high place, and his massive future. The more we can relax and calmly smile, and sleep deeply. And even all the worst case scenarios that we imagine, or experience, can no longer torment us.

The Highest Form of Parenting

Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.

What is the highest form of parenting? What is great parenting? Is it training a child to do well in school? Or …have a high paying career? Is it training a child to have successful careers and marraiges and large families? Is it training a child to attend church and not live a sinful life? To be generous?, to be disciplined?

All of these are noble things to teach a child but there is something higher that these all fit into, if we really understand Jesus Christ. Training up a child in the way mentioned in the above Proverbs reference was referring to the superlative way. Then Jesus Christ said ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father except by me.’ Jesus changed all things,

Now, Jesus Christ is the way that all children are to be trained in.

Not the things mentioned in the first paragraph. Those things may or may not be a part of the way of Jesus Christ, for a particular child.

The highest form of parenting is training a child in the way of following and always seeking first Jesus Christ. And seeking him with every fiber of the being, seeking him in living pure, seeking him in understanding him, seeking him in life’s every situation. The measure of success is a person who seeks first Jesus Christ in all things. It is not a measure of financial status. Or career success, or having widespread influence.

Jesus Christ is a Path

Jesus Christ is a path, He not only is a path, he is the path planned for humanity as created. He is a path down which to travel for life. Jesus Christ is much greater than we can possible imagine or express verbally or in writing.

Jesus is the foundation for the superlative human life, as planned for Adam and Eve before the beginning. Jesus is not merely a religious idea for getting into heaven, or an option for Sunday activities.

He is THE way our children should go, PERIOD, and if we are able we should train our children to go on along that way..

Inserting Jesus

If we can insert Jesus Christ himself into our conversations, into our relationships, be they friendships, family or even foes.

Then we are making a great spiritual accompaniment.

Not necessarily discussions of church, or discussions on the greatness of some pastor, not discussions of theology, and not discussions of how our faith affects our opinions on politics. Those are usually not useful and they pale in comparison to him. They do little to no good spiritually to help people.

But making insertions of Jesus Christ himself into our relationships. Expressions of love, devotion, and awe at him personally.

If we are willing and able to do this with the people in our lives then these are tremendous spiritual accomplishments. Far more significant than we can imagine long term.

For he is the tip of the spear of the new creation. The kingdom of God which is displacing all other kingdoms. He is the beginning and end of the invasion of God into Satan’s world system we find ourselves in. And one by one we, his loyal, devoted and passionate followers, get to wield his spear and pick off spiritually dead people. To liven them and begin to return them to life again in Jesus Christ. Reclaiming humanity one person at a time.

What a wonderful Lord that he would include us in this process.
