The Life of Jesus, Part 7 (7/10)

DAY 5 OF 5

Is God a judge?

Everyone creates their own image of God. Our background, our family, previous experiences of church, teachings of others, it all becomes part of the framework on which we build our image of God. It is difficult to create a complete picture. Our words are limited to describe who he is, and our mind is unable to grasp him completely because he is infinite.

Some may see God as a judge. A harsh God who condemns. So they are always afraid of him. Believing if they make a mistake, God will seek his revenge and punish them.

The best way to paint a picture of God is to look at Jesus.

In this part we catch a glimpse of who God is. Remember how Jesus foretold that Peter would betray him? This must have been difficult. Both for Peter but also for Jesus himself. Still Jesus tries to encourage him and tells him not to be insecure. We all make mistakes, but we can still put our trust in God. He gives us hope and a new perspective.

Whatever the mistakes we've made, he wants you to share them with him. He will forgive you. His truth will make you clean. He will give you hope for eternal life with Him. Let him take the lead. For he is the way, the truth and the life.

Don't worry. Don't hide your sin out of fear of judgment. Let Jesus handle this, it is the whole reason he came to earth. He will comfort you.
