This could possibly be the beginning of several posts; we’ll just have to see how it all comes out. The thought is just what the title suggests: The Christian Experience and I guess all I can really do is share mine or at least some of mine.
I’m not sure exactly where to begin, but I will say this; mine has been an awesome one! Yes, my Christian experience, and all my experiences with Christ have been nothing short of phenomenal! When I met Jesus, one of my first thoughts was, “why didn’t I do this sooner?” and I’ve since heard countless others express the same.
To keep this post brief, I want to camp on the word experience for just a moment. That word describes what our life in Christ should be; an experience, a breath-taking experience.
It’s not the Christian experiment, although many times that’s how it might feel. As if we’re part of some cosmic experiment to test the responses of life’s many difficulties. That’s a whole other issue. What I’m getting at is this: We don’t come to Jesus to give Him a try, with the attitude of, “Well, let’s see how this Jesus thing works for me.” Sadly many do, and it simply reveals that nothing happened in their heart to begin with.
If you or anyone else has been touched with the love of Jesus, you’ll quickly know that Jesus is not a religion to experiment with. He and His wonderful love is the experience of a lifetime, and that initial experience with Him is only the prelude of countless other life changing experiences that wait.
