We often hear Christians say: We want to be the descendants of Abraham, but few Christians are willing to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Why? Abraham is the idol of the Israelites and the idol of Christians all over the world! Abraham was only a "righteous man", so he could be rich beyond a country. Jesus is the most despised person in the whole world! Even the Jews can insult and laugh at Jesus, it is indeed too miserable to be Jesus! We only see the prosperity of Abraham in the world, but we never compare the difference between "Abraham" and "Jesus"! Abraham and Jesus were indeed different, and they were completely different lives with completely different outcomes! Although Abraham did not go down to Hades, the place where Abraham went was the place where Lazarus went. Abraham never went to heaven, let alone sat at the right hand of the Father. This is the difference between the endings of Abraham and Jesus! What dose become a "Christian"? Are "Christians" care about a dwelling place of eternal life, or care about "wealth in this life"? I think: Most Christians and pastors value Abraham's worldly wealth and blessings!
Abraham's wealth and blessings are: Because of Abraham was "justified by faith"! When Abraham was in the world, he was "wealthy as a country", but Abraham's final this life was the same as "Lazarus was the beggar"! Many choose to be Christians in order to choose Abraham's way in the world. In the world, everyone's life is limited! Abraham lived in the world for at least 175 years, and Jesus lived in the world for about 33 years. So, who do you think is more miserable, Abraham or Jesus? Who is happier? If we judge Abraham and Jesus by the days of the world, we will feel that Abraham is more blessed! Jesus worked hard all his life! Jesus was chased and killed by King Herod since he was born, and he couldn't even afford a house all his life. In the eyes of modern people, Jesus is a "three-no youth"! Many people think that a "three-no youth" like Jesus should have died earlier so as not to drag the world down! In fact, Jesus also died when he was young and strong. What's more tragic is: Jesus not only had a miserable life, but Jesus' death was even more tragic! To put it bluntly: Who would treat Jesus as an idol? Who would want to follow Jesus?
Christian's Favorite No. 1 Character: Paul! Paul is the idol of a group of pastors! Paul built churches everywhere, Paul cursed everywhere! The early church was indeed very prosperous, because the Christians in the early church were scolded and awakened by Paul. The Christians in the early church were not really awakened at all, and they were not completely willing to follow Jesus! Including us modern Christians, our idols are "Abraham" and "Paul"! "Abraham" is as rich as a country, and many people know it. "Paul" was a curse, had a lot of authority, and we all know that. But "Jesus" is a poor little guy worse than Lazarus! Jesus' life was quite miserable. For 33 years, he was "3 no youth" ~ "no car", "no house", "no education"! No matter what, Abraham is a "landlord"! And Paul at least led troops to persecute Christians, and Paul also had academic qualifications and knowledge. I really didn’t understand how the Heavenly Father allowed Jesus to sit on the right side of the throne? It seems that God the Father is really old and confused!
Why was Jesus so poor? Jesus is really ~ so stupid! There is no poor fool like Jesus in the whole world! (Matthew 5:41) And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. ~ Do you feel Jesus was stupid and poor? He taught the Jews: If a Roman soldier asks you to carry their luggage one mile, help them carry their luggage two miles! In ancient times, Roman soldiers could treat Jews at will, because Jews were subjugated slaves! Jews have always been quite selfish! Why do they repeatedly "subjugate the country"? Because the Jews care about "themselves", the Jews never care about the country and other people! The selfishness of the Jews is undoubtedly revealed from Hezekiah! And the Jews will perish because those powerful people only care about themselves! Jesus taught the Jews to be sympathetic to their fellow man! When the Roman soldiers forced the Jews to carry their luggage, the Jews had to help them carry at least one mile, but Jesus taught the Jews to help the Roman soldiers carry 2 miles! When everyone walks an extra mile, the next brother suffers less! Christians, have we gone the extra mile? Or are we always taking advantage of others? Ask yourself!
Why do Jews become subjugated slaves? Why did Hitler want to exterminate the Jews? The Bible has always given us the answer! The Jews have always been: The white-eyed wolf nation! Jews are good at making money, but Jews are very selfish and ungrateful! Do you know if you see Americans from Jews? Why are Jews selected by God? Because the Jews are "too deep in sin"! Doesn't God know the wickedness of the Jews? Of course God knows! How many prophets did God send to redeem the Jews? God finally sent His only begotten son to save the Jews, but the Jews killed God's only begotten son! Have the Jews repented? The Jews never repented! The Jews will not cry until they see the coffin! They have to meet Hitler for them to change! But their changes are always temporary, and they keep repeating their mistakes! The United States is now a country controlled by the Jews, and the American people have two choices: 1. Follow the Jews to hell! 2. Send the Jews to the coffin! Only Jews see coffin, and then will they end their devilish deeds!
How different was the life of Abraham and Jesus on earth! But why do people commemorate Jesus, but they don't commemorate Abraham at all? Why are we baptized as Christians? We never became Christians to follow Abraham or Paul, we were baptized Christians to follow in the footsteps of Jesus! None of us were baptized in the name of "Abraham" or "Paul", we were all baptized in the name of "Father, Son, Holy Spirit"! The promise of eternal life is not what Abraham or Paul can give us, but "the promise of the Holy Father"! Every Christian should not forget the "original heart". Why are we baptized as Christians? Are we baptized for the "promise of eternal life"? Or are you baptized for the "wealth and blessings of Abraham"? Where do we want to go after death? If people have no "soul", no "spiritual body", and no "eternal life", then people can do evil at will in this life! So, do people have a "soul"? The answer is in our hearts!
