Most people are dust long before they are dust! For everyone person that leaves a mark of indelible Love by the power of Christ there are tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands who allowed life and the voice of satan in the form of guilt and condemnation to make them spiritual wall flowers!
“When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!” – Matthew 27:54
You will Not find it because it isn’t there! There isn’t a single verse, story or parable where it is even hinted that people followed Jesus and knew He was the Son of God because He followed the law better than anyone!
I can show you verses (multiple) where Jesus broke the law – ALL in the name of Love – but I can’t find one single shred of evidence that says Jesus was legally perfect!
The reason people knew He was different, the reason people risked their very lives to support Him, be there and take Him down from the cross and ruin their career like the centurion would have done is that Jesus was “made perfect through His suffering” (Heb. 2:10) as He was seen as Perfect Love!
What will people say of you when you are in a box?
Will they say, “oh he was a good man and followed the law and made sure that he was in church and always did the right thing” or will they say, “he loved me and accepted me unconditionally, he cared, genuinely cared about others and never judged them or condemned them even when other were ready to.”
How do I want to die? I want to die in such a way that people have no doubt that I was a radical Lover like Jesus was and is! I want to die in such a way so as to inspire a whole new generation of people who By Grace Through Faith – LOVE others and draw people to Christ because He Is the Only place where this kind of Love is found! I want to die on the battlefield of Love and Not in the false security of same-same “saints” who only care about me as long as I resemble their dysfunction!
