Past Conversations With Jesus Have Always Caused People To Think

By Gloria Mason


The conversations with Jesus that those of his day had were very much to the point of what the people were dealing with. Those same answers can be of help to all people today if they are studied in the Bible for their directness of purpose. People, in the modern world, do not have as much use for them and this is to their unknown regret.

The political world would be as divided as the political world then was. Many of the ideas that politicians think about would not conform to the what would Jesus do mentality that some propose they follow. They are mixed up as to what is the right thing and just talking to each other would bring the same responses they had during that first few decades of AD.

War would be the subject of one of those conversations. One of the things that our Savior would comment on is that all things that are done should go toward improving our society. This would be based on what is the greatest benefit to people, generally. The discussion would not center around religious differences, however, as that is only a smoke screen for what is happening in places like the middle east, where he came from.

A famous phrase of his about peace makers being blessed is well known but misunderstood. He encouraged his followers to take up their swords and follow him. He did not encourage senseless violence and was the first to administer first aid to his enemies even as they were arresting him. Gun control would not be on his list of things to have done to people.

Abortion is another topic that people think is fine for them. They have not read, apparently, the statement he made about knowing people while they were still in the womb. These people would have all believe that his words are not modern and he did not have any of the same pressures they have today. Just reading, with comprehension, some of his words would show the love and compassion he has for all.

There are many people who have stated that if they had a chance to talk to Jesus, they would tell him a thing or two. They would be wrong about this as the nature of the man and his presence would quell any thoughts they had that they know better than he does. The nature of men and women, from the earliest mention, has not changed and can not make the decisions they need to make without the insight he provides.

The people of Bible times have had their lives turned around by the discussions they have had with him. People, today, can have the same life transforming experiences if they see and read those same talks. Having the time to think about all that was said and what is being said now will give everyone a chance to rethink and recommit to the right line of reasoning.

Having any number of conversations with Jesus would, they believe, not be in the best interests of most people. The things they believe are right and morale will fall very short of what he left for us in the Bible. His tolerance, religious teachings and unconditional love would not fit in with most peoples lives and they would know it immediately.
