Jesus! The Name That Offends?

Jesus states, "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." (Matthew 11:6) Jesus knew that just as it was then, that in the years to come His message and His name would offend people. Why? If we read the red words of Jesus in the Bible, we will not find one thing that will harm us. This is a challenge to those, that the name of Jesus offend.....what did He say or do that offends you?.......what did He say or do that will harm you? Jesus represents the ultimate love, to give His very life for us! His teachings will convict, but they do not harm. His words save and His words only lead to a fulfilling life. He is the only way to real peace. This peace comes as a result of trust in Him. We let go of the things that harm us and let Him lead. We truly are blessed when we embrace Jesus instead of being offended by Him. He is the LOVE. Why does LOVE offend?
This Christmas season may the true meaning of Christmas come through your day to day life. Without the birth of Jesus we would not have Christmas!!!! Merry Christmas!
