WHAT IF
JESUS HAD NEVER COME?
Roger
Campbell, Cleveland, Tennessee
I cannot
imagine trying to make it through life without having “the good
shepherd” (John 10:11), who is the “one mediator between God and
men’ (1 Tim. 2:5) and the “King of kings and lord of lords”
(Rev19:16) in my corner. But what if Jesus had never come into this
world to “give his life as a ransom” (Mark 10:45)?
A LIFE
WITHOUT TRUE MEANING Jesus came that we might have life, and
that we might have it more abundantly (John 10:100. Paul said we
“can do all things” through Him (Philippians 4:13). The whole of
man is to fear the Lord and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes
12:13).
A LIFE
WITHOUT A TOTALLY RELIABLE MODEL TO IMIATE There are many fine
people in this world. Some are worthy of imitation because they
demonstrate selfless behavior, pure speech and a respectful attitude.
Yet no mere human is a good example in every way all of the time.
Each person makes mistakes “All of have sinned” (Romans 3:23.
But not Jesus. He “did no sin,” and that is why He alone is
worthy of complete imitation (1 Peter 2:21-22).
A LIFE
WITHOUT DIRECTION Where am I going in my life? Jesus said, “I
am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).
A LIFE
WITHOUT SALVATION The wages of sin is death because sin
separates a person from God (Romans 6:23;
Isaiah
59:1-2). Thank God that He loved us so much that He sent Jesus “into
the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15;
Ephesians
1:7). Because Jesus is the only Savior, the only “name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12),
without Him we could never enjoy the forgiveness of sins.
A LIFE
WITHOUT HOPE People that live without hope are miserable indeed.
Jesus is the hope of the world (1Timothy 1:1). Through Jesus we can
live “in hope of eternal life” (Titus 1:2).
The
choice is ours: we can either live with Him or without Him. Let us
choose wisely; for this choice will determine our eternal destiny.
To live with Him, of course, means to live according to His will.
Are you doing that?
