Reality, Jesus, and us . . .

Because the risen Jesus
Is physically unseen,
That doesn’t mean
That you should be unaware
That He is everywhere.
How wonderful it is
To wake up and find
That Jesus hasn’t
Left us behind
To deal with life
Through our own mind.
Don’t be confined
To a Christ far away.
Now is the time
To be fully aligned
And surrendered to
“Christ in you
The hope of glory!”

Freedom Declined

To be defined
By your desires
Is to be confined
To their control.

The confinement of Jesus Christ to organized religion removes the conscious awareness of His presence from everyday life. Look to the living God as your spiritual source, not to a preacher! Jesus told Peter, “This was not revealed to you by flesh and blood but by my Father.” Paul said, “I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood.”

Notice Jesus today. He’s not hiding from you. Really? Yes, really! Any moment can be a Jesus moment. Why not now?

We assume that physical matter is real because we can see it. But it’s really not real. Everything we see with our physical eyes is not what it seems to be. It is an illusion created by collections of microscopic empty balls consisting of energy sparks that are orbiting empty space (with the exception of a few mystical/subatomic “particles”) at a lightning-fast pace. We are stuck in their cosmic illusion, so we live like it is reality. However, if there is reality, it must exist beyond the illusion of physically matter which will eventually come to an end when the energy balls all collapse.

The very thoughts that I have written here and that you are now reading reveal that human consciousness (though encased in physical matter) is beyond it. Without the transmission of physical matter my ideas are being transferred from the inner (intangible but real) me to the inner (intangible bur real) you as the nonphysical you reads them.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
