My favorite discussion topic is a very special person. He’s the most unique person in history. He is also the most famous and has probably been discussed and written about more than anybody ever.
Christ alone is my cornerstone and advocate. Jesus said that He wouldn’t leave His disciples as orphans, but that He will come to them. He told them that one day they “will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.” (John 14:19-20)
John, one of Jesus’ first 12 disciples, proclaims: “We have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” (1 John 2:1) We don’t have to go through preachers and religion to get to God. The risen, present Jesus, Himself, is “the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)
Open your heart and let “Christ in you” be your Bible reading guide. He’ll teach you true wisdom. (1 John 2:27)
Many Christians like to toss around the names of their favorite preachers, but few consistently proclaim that “Jesus is Lord.” Keep your eyes and your heart always fixed on and locked in on the living Jesus.
This is confusing: God said that He will share His glory with no one, (Isaiah 42:8) yet many preachers name ministries after themselves. That’s like saying: “Myself Ministries.” It’s unscriptural and unspiritual to focus on preachers and their names. (1 Corinthians 3:1-5)
A study Bible is a muddy Bible. It’s muddied by mixing human opinions with God’s Word. When you read the Bible keep your heart open and receptive to the risen Jesus.
