Who is “Of Christ” in today’s High-Tech World?

You may or may not agree with me if I say that in today’s high-tech and complex world, many of the people who are labelled as “Christians” heard & perceived Christ Jesus only theoretically as a mere historical figure of bygone days, and therefore of little significance to the issues and problems of the day.

Obviously, much has already been said about the historical figure in the human person of Jesus, The Christ, through the commentaries of “religionists” or even through reading or sharing of personal testimonies about His life story in small or large fellowship gatherings. Others would even mimic His sufferings & agony in Mount Calvary by re-enacting His crucifixion during Lenten season while herd of fans as well as foreign observers take video footages for keeps or for whatever personal or perhaps commercial purposes.

Undeniably, however, there is a great difference between merely “knowing Jesus theoretically in the head” and “Understanding Him personally and living with Him intimately in the heart”. To me, this issue is of prime importance today more than ever before considering that the signs of the “End Time” are here and now coming louder and clearer.

Furthermore, the inevitability of change for the “good-better-best” or for the “bad-worse-worst” to occur in the immediate or distant future would definitely affect everyone either way. That is why it is very important that you and I need to know “Who is who?” and “Which is which?” with respect to and in relation with the real identity of The Only Savior and Lord of all Who is destined to finally reclaim and rule the world so loved by The Eternal Creator God (John 3:16). And, the bottom line that counts in the end can be found in the answer to the following question: “Where does everyone stand or belong in the trend & current of the unfolding events and developments occurring now and then?”

Now, here’s something very challenging if not intriguing to some, yet worth considering and contemplating for its grain of salt: To be “Of Christ” in today’s high-tech world is to be a careful observer and faithful follower of the exemplary attitude and behaviour exemplified by the person of Christ Jesus Himself. Simply put by way of queries, “Who today can still afford to throw back bread instead of returning evil for evil just to get even?”; “Who today can still give the other cheek after having been slapped on one cheek?”; When Jesus, The Christ, was nailed on the cross in Mount Calvary, what did He pray and ask the Father in Heaven before the dying body of Sacrificial Lamb of God breath its last? Did He ask the Father to hate and destroy His persecutors? Didn’t Jesus instead ask the Father to forgive them for they didn’t know what they were doing?

Do the above questions sound “Old-fashion” in today’s progressive world of rapidly advancing High-Tech fashion and lifestyle?

Gentlemen, find it out for yourself and identify where you stand and where you belong in the scheme of things in today’s world. Take note though, that the one who is “Of Christ” is identified with the attitude, ways, manners, and lifestyle of Christ. Anything else contrary or against the way of Christ isn’t His. That’s why it is not very difficult or hard to distinguish the one who is “Of Christ” from the “Anti-Christ” or the so-called “666”.

Peace, safety, and eternal security be with everyone who love life as Jesus Himself it promised saying, “…I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly”(John 10:10).

Praise, Honor, and Glory be to God in Christ Jesus, and on earth Peace among peoples with whom God is pleased and blessed.

Amen & Amen!
