SIMPLY THIS: On this trip, I’ve been drinking in Scripture like it’s my paid job. I’ve never really done that before… like hardcore every day… reading through different books. So far I’ve finished Matthew and Romans, and am working through Genesis and John currently. All that reading combined with living in this pagan society, I’ve been convicted of mainly one thing: The man Jesus Christ was not just a man but the Son of God, God in human flesh. That man, Jesus Christ, is literally the ONLY hope for anybody, anyone, and this world. His life, death, and resurrection completely personify the WAY (to knowing our Father), the (only) TRUTH, and the (only real) LIFE. For a long time in my life I felt pretentious about making that claim (as most of my generation) in front of people who thought slightly differently than me. I don’t feel that way anymore.
