Differences

What may be truth to you may not be truth to me.  It is all relative.  We each find our own and discover the ultimate in our own lives.  If these statements are truth, which is completely relative, then why is the truth of the resurrection any different?  Can we agree on what is truth even as Christians?

Seems if we embrace the relative theory approach to Christian life then we basically stand on a sand filled trench of doubt.  What is core or central to our identity as post Easter disciples of the Lord Jesus?  

(1) Jesus endured the cross, the brutality of the cross, and rose again granting salvation and fulfillment of God's ultimate promise to bring freedom from sin, death, and the devil.

(2)  We can expect the divine in our lives to be tangible and not stand as an abstract theory of something possible.  

(3)  The road by which a disciple must travel is difficult and not for the faint of heart.  

Since when did discipleship and being a Christ follower turn into something that resembles a country club?  When we have institutionalized religion and turned it into a means to gain salvation rather than a means to build up the assurance of our salvation.

Thoughts for a Thursday afternoon eh?
