I have not done any research (and I do
not think I would) but I feel Jesus is the most talked about man of all
time. Christians spend their time trying to get the world to believe in
him while atheist try to convince anyone who cares to listen that he
doesn’t exist and the guy down the street keeps wondering what the fuss
is about the guy. Over the years, a lot of research has been done to
study the historical Christ. Some findings show that he did exist and
these findings support what is said in the Bible while some findings
show that the entire Christian religion is a fraud and that said Jesus
did not exist.
I became a Christian in August of 2006
and it did not happen after an altar call. I was raised in a Christian
home and I knew all the ropes but I did not believe. I loved the idea of
God and his Son but did not really believe in them or their existence. I
loved Christian music because it was very positive and inspiring but I
just was not fully convinced about who this God was. So after a lot of
soul searching, I decided to follow Jesus. There was no pastor praying
for me. It was not after I saw The Passion of The Christ. It was just a
decision I decided to make.
Shortly after that, I got into the
University and started a new chapter in my life and being a Christian is
not a walk in the park: it is a very unpredictable journey can get very
tiring. My life has I had known it had to change and the
transformation process is long and painful. (1Peter1:7)
With that being said, my journey was
rough and a struggle. It was as if things were so much easier when I was
not a Christian. I could not understand how I am supposed to be serving
this Jesus who seems uninterested in my life. In my head, I am like “Dude I am serving you. I have decided to live for you. Can you help me out here?”
It was so frustrating and sometimes I would just decide that my old
life was better besides how was I sure if he actually existed.
And then I had my Jesus moment.
