Stuff Jesus Never Said

Here is some stuff that Jesus never said.

1. Bad things will never happen to you

- So many people think that just because they believe in Jesus means everything is going to be flawless and perfect. This really isn’t the case at all. You may have a relationship with Jesus, but this doesn’t mean life is going to stop moving forward, tough circumstances are going to cease to exist, and rough times will never be a possibility. Even though Jesus never said life would be easy, he did say he would be there for you in your times of need. The message of The Gospel isn’t that life will be perfect, but that in it’s imperfection we have a perfect and flawless Savior.

2. You deserve to have nice things

- Jesus never said you deserve a huge house, nice car, big paycheck, and a sweet job. In fact, everything in The Gospel points to simplicity rather than luxury. This isn’t to say that you’re not allowed to have nice things, but that Jesus didn’t promise you are going to be given them. God’s plan for each of our lives is different, and we need to understand that not everyone is going to make the same amount of money, drive the same types of cars, or even live in the same type of housing. What we needed to understand is that Jesus did say we need to love our neighbors, help those who are in need, and that the widow and homeless deserve to be loved as Christ loved The Church.You don’t deserve to have nice things, but you do get to experience the love of Christ, and that's worth more than anything this world can offer.

3. All your prayers will be answered the way you want

- Many of us pray to Jesus thinking that everything we ask of Him is going to be answered in our timing….Just because a prayer isn’t answered in your timing does not mean your prayer has been ignored. God hears all, knows all, and knows what’s best for each of us as individuals. Take a step back and trust in God, his timing, and his will.
