A late night meditation and post.
Dr. Jeremiah goes back to Adam and Eve and how Adam walked with God but then ate of the forbidden fruit....as the head of the human race, they lost all of their privileges with God just like that....Their communion was broken and the Bible says they his from God. They were evicted from the Garden and they began the process of dying. The condition that all of us are in before Christ is exactly like that. Because we are all descendants of Adam, we have inherited all of the problems of his/their rebellion against God.
We are separated from God, we cannot know Him.
Before we know Christ, we know that...we sense that something’s wrong, something’s not right.....There’s this emptiness in our lives....
That’s the reason Jesus Christ came, to fix all that was broken between man and God.....He came to be the one who would restore our fellowship with God. He came to be the TRUTH about God in His very Being. And He came to give us LIFE, not just in heaven by and by, but in life in the here and now. Life that’s better than anything you will find anywhere.
Jesus came to remove that sin barrier between you and me and God. He came to re-establish THE WAY between us and God. Now we believe that Jesus is the teacher of THE WAY. We accept the fact that He is the guide along the way. But that’s not what He is saying here....but that’s not what He is saying here.,..He is saying He is THE way. He is saying I am the way to restore communion with God.
Jesus said we can know him and know him well.
