Christians-Today Ministry

Do you have faith in Jesus? Do you understand exactly what faith is? Faith is actually believing without having proof. Sometimes it is hard to believe in something you cannot see. However, if you can just get past the idea that you have to “see to believe”, you could possibly open up a whole new universe for yourself. Believing in Christ comes from within. It is based upon knowing that Jesus lives, without actually seeing him.

Here is the dictionary’s definition of FAITH:
“Belief that is not based on proof.”

A Story of FAITH:
While Jesus and his disciples were in the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee, a woman who had been afflicted with bleeding for many years was there, and knew of Jesus and his healing miracles. She knew that if she could only touch the hem of his garment, she would be healed. Because of her strong faith in the Lord, she came up behind him and by touching the edge of his cloak, her bleeding immediately stopped! Here is how Matthew and Luke both describe the incident, with Luke’s account containing much more detail:

Matthew 9:20-22 (NIV)

20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.

Luke 8:42-48 (NIV)

42 As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

You too can have this same kind of faith. All you need to do is believe in Jesus. Believe that his sacrifice on the cross was for you; confess him to be your Lord and Savior and repent of your sins. If you do these things with all sincerity, by faith you will be saved and have eternal life. You will have access to the throne of God through Jesus Christ, who sits at the Right Hand of God and has authority over all things. It is by faith in Jesus Christ that you are able to do everything through him (Christ) who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13).

Are you searching for someone or something that you don’t even know if they or it exists? Do you ever find yourself feeling like you have a huge hole in your heart and nothing or nobody can fill that empty space? If you can relate to these questions and you are feeling lonely and without direction, I can tell you how to fill that gaping hole in your heart.

Earlier in my life, I had always been searching, hoping to find somebody, anybody who would make me feel complete. I went from relationship to relationship, from activity to activity, but always coming up short, and feeling emptier than I did before. Then, one night, when I was at my all time low in life, I met a friend, a comforter, someone I could talk to who was always there waiting to hear my troubles. Someone who gave me peace in times of turmoil, someone whom I could trust with my life and someone who gave up his life so that I could live. If you are wondering who I found that is so perfect for me, well then I’ll tell you; It is Jesus Christ, that’s who. My life was completely falling apart, I was filled with so much loneliness and despair, that I was on a quick-moving downward spiral, with little chance of recovery on my own. The night I met Jesus, I was ready to go down a road of no-return, a road that could only condemn me to a place that I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to be. Hell. I was ready to take my own life and I didn’t think that God would send me there had I succeeded in taking my own life- but now I know differently. That night, before I could dispose of my own life, Jesus came to me; filled me with his love and his peace and I have never been the same since. Family and friends noticed the difference in me immediately. I was happier and filled to the brim with joy. Now my life is devoted to teaching others about the joy and peace they too can know when they turn their lives over to Jesus.

Not only does Jesus restore the joy and peace in your life, he restores order. He gives you a reason to get up every day and a reason to press on even in times of trial. The loneliness and despair that I once knew, now seem like they belonged to someone else - a part of someone else’s life. I now feel complete and am no longer searching for someone else to complete me. Jesus has already done that for me - and he can do that for you as well.

Do you want to know Jesus; to enjoy a life with joy, peace, happiness and direction? I am not saying that once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that you won’t have times of trials, but you will be better equipped to handle those trials. It is through Jesus Christ that you are given the strength to handle whatever trials that come your way and it is through the word of God that you are able to defeat the enemy, Satan.

Jesus told his disciples shortly before being crucified, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
**See John 14:5-14 Below

Jesus is the ‘Way’. Jesus said that he is the ‘Way’. What do you think he meant by that? You see, Jesus is telling us that he is the “only way” to the Father. Nobody can reconcile with God the Father without going through Jesus first. Because Jesus is the son of God, and is also God (a hard concept to understand, I know), you cannot bypass Jesus to connect with God. Think of God in this way: God is a triune God and is made up of 3 parts: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. God is like the head of the body, and Jesus and The Holy Spirit are extensions of the body - like arms. Without the head (the brain) sending a message to the arms to move, an arm can do nothing; it is paralyzed. The head always tells the arms what to do, and not vise-versa. Jesus loves you so much and is reaching out to you, won’t you accept him?

Jesus is the ‘Truth’. Jesus was and is without sin. Period. God cannot sin, and therefore, it was impossible for Jesus to sin; because they are one and the same. In Jesus’ sermons to the masses and to his disciples, many times he stated, “I tell you the truth…” before delivering an important message. You need to understand that whenever you are reading scripture in the bible, and you see that Jesus says, “I tell you the truth” before making a statement, you should know in your heart that Jesus always speaks the truth and that you can trust in his word.

Jesus is the ‘Life’. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. In his sermons he tells us over and over that it is only through him that we can live eternally. We read throughout the New Testament the many ways Jesus is called “The Life” by the authors. Here are a few examples: Jesus is the life, the water of life, the bread of life, the eternal life, the everlasting life, the life of the world, the light of life, the living waters, the author of life and the word of life. So basically, what it all boils down to is that “JESUS IS THE LIFE”, period. Without Jesus in your life, you are basically without the life that God planned for you from the very beginning of time. You are aimlessly wandering this earth, and you may not even realize it - YET. If you have not accepted Jesus into your life, and are feeling like there is something very substantial missing, won’t you please give Jesus a chance to make your life right? To put you on the path where you belong? If you are not yet ready for this wonderful life-altering event to take place, just remember, don’t wait too long because some day, it will be too late. You will have passed up this and other opportunities to make Jesus the Lord of your life, for he is the only one who gives you life.
Accept Jesus Into Your Heart Now

**John 14:5-14

Jesus the Way to the Father

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”
