I'd Still Choose Jesus

It’s a “What If?” morning.

What if Jesus really was not the Son of God? What if there is no heaven nor hell? What if this life is all there is — we live, we die, and are no more? What if someone or something proved it beyond any shadow of a doubt, by human standards?

What would you do? How would you feel? How would your life change? Would there be a loss of hope? A change in how you loved? Would your purpose shift to something different, more self-serving, less focused?

I don’t think the world would continue to be a viable place. I don’t think our morals and kindness — our humanity — would remain. Yes, I know there are other religions, other belief systems, other cultures that are not Christ-centered. I know that many are based on all the things we hold dear, except Jesus. That’s where the issue begins and ends. Jesus. Without him we are all just a collection of particles spinning through space with no purpose but the meager time we remain breathing — nothing more than a dust mote reflecting the light.

I don’t have any wisdom to impart here. To ponder these issues brings me to the realization that even if I’m wrong, I’d still choose Jesus. Every single day. I’d choose him even if the whole world rejected him. I know who I was before him and I know who I am since him. I would never give this me up for any reason. I just know that the life I have is so much better than anything else available.

I know that if following Jesus can change the old me into the new me, nothing else matters.

Today is your day to choose.

Today I choose Jesus with all that I am. Not perfect. But working on it.

Love, Pam
