Hahaha the disciples were freaken out alright. Do ya know why? hahah cuz of the Jesus life. hahaha.

Ever wonder what non christians think when we say "God lives through me?" I would imagine they would chalk it up to Christian jargon, which is true. They understand the word God. They understand that that gives it religious implications. They don't understand religion. They understand the word lives. They understand the word through and they understand the word me. They kinda get a vague conception if what those words mean together. But really, they don't actually know what we mean. Even if we explain it to them, they may kinda understand it, but not really. When they become a christian, then is when they fully begin to appreciate what that means.

Thats the way I think we approach the bible. Some of the phrases like , "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up" we understand the words, we kinda get a sense of what the statement means. Humble, opposite of proud. Okay basically don't be proud. It is good not to be proud. But we don't really understand the fullness and true meaning behind those words until we see it lived out. The bible is totally like that. There are so many concepts in the gospels about the way that jesus lived, they aren't taught in church. We don't understand the meanings of the words, we gloss over them and don't realize how totally radical those words are.
