Affirmation - Saves Says Jesus

Jesus demonstrated the true way and called on us to tread it with Him. It is a way of mutual helpfulness, not a way of mutual destruction. We do not live our daily lives holding a deterrent over each other's heads. We try, as far as we know how, to get along with each other in as harmonious a way as possible. Where we act discordantly to each other we do so because of fear, often unconscious fear ingrained in us by ancestral experiences of damages received long ago. Jesus asks us to become more conscious of the origin of our fears, and to face them with courage. "Affirmation Saves", says Jesus. To go forwards with our eyes wide open, and our minds and hearts too, is the true way.


The world in which we live is a dangerous place. Everywhere forces antagonistic to live demonstrate their presence. Viruses and bacteria dwell in our environment, ready to take advantage of any weaknesses in us. Natural cataclysms and man-made wars threaten our existence. Industrial pollutants fill the air we must breathe. And in the middle of all these hazards, Jesus, The God-Man says to us, "Tis I; Be not afraid". To allow ourselves to sink into fear and negativity is not the way to improve the quality of our lives. Life is not a mere material phenomenon; it is a manifestation of spiritual power, and such power proves its presence, not in counsels of despair, but in acts of courage and initiative.

    I believe this also, having tried the other way with miserable failure and witnessed our government now always trying the other way. The Way of Jesus sounds scary (to the weak in faith - to me too sometimes), but is the only way for ultimate Peace. "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit. says the Lord" (somewhere in Zachariah). Good Post[THUMBUP][HEART]
