The Essential Jesus - Part 3 - The Religious Faith of Jesus

This week is again an open phone segment. It is the third and final part in our discussion of the essential Jesus. We started with his gospel message, then explored his splendid unselfish service and this week we are discussing his sublime faith and religion. What was Jesus' religion?  Christianity is a religion about Jesus. It evolved during the 20 centuries after he died, all of his early followers were Jews or Gentiles, so we can hardly call Jesus a Christian. He was, after all, raised in the religion of the Hebrews and yet the religious authorities of his day called him a blasphemer and a heretic, so he could hardly have been called a devout Jew. So what was the religion of Jesus? What did he bring to humanity that was so different that 20 centuries and have come and gone and the humble carpenter from Nazareth is still hailed as the King of Kings. There is something about Jesus that cannot be explained. Something so powerful and so sublime that it changed the course of human history and touched every human life, directly or indirectly, from that day to this. How can we emulate his superb faith? A faith that attained the purity of a child’s trust and was so undoubting that it yielded the joy and the assurance of absolute personal security. His faith was so real and all-encompassing that it absolutely swept away any spiritual doubts and effectively destroyed every conflicting desire.
