What We Do With Jesus

Either Jesus will be embraced as God or hated as the world’s greatest nuisance. Either He will be the smell of life or the smell of death. Wholesale repentance or wholesale rejection. Those that love Him will show that love by strict allegiance, acknowledging Him as their Lord, giving Him firstplace in their lives. And those that hate Him will be repulsed by His name. They mock Him and do the same to His followers. Jesus is a lightning rod. Either He is the rock of salvation or the stone of stumbling. For all people, either He is either heaven or hell. There has never been more love for a person and at the same time never more hatred for a person. It’s not that we put Jesus on trial. He is already vindicated as God. But Jesus puts all people on trial as to how they respond to Him. It’s ultimately what we do with Jesus as to whether we will rise or fall (Lk. 2:34).
