Having Conversations With Jesus Would Not Fit Into Peoples Plans For Their Lives

By Gloria Mason


During the time Jesus was walking the Earth, everyone who came into contact with him gained something from those conversations. It involved knowledge that they needed to handle the times and various people they dealt with. These conversations with Jesus surprised the people of his day as they would certainly surprise people today and even more so.

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.

One of the many topics that would be discussed, if possible, would be war. The betterment of society would be the basis for his answers. The living of the life he has prescribed for us would be the base form which all decisions would be made. It would not be centered around the religious differences as he is the author of the tolerance he requires from all.

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.

The basic differences between men and women have a root in the teachings of all of the Old and New Testament. He would make sure that they have a firm grip on all of the things he would say in answer to any question. The conversations one would have with him would, of necessity, be questions and not lectures to him as his very nature would quell any of those thoughts.

Reading the Bible, not all of the talks Jesus had with people will make a great many modern people happy for the issues they are presented. These have been written down and they are available for an imagined conversation with him. Most people, facing the choices they have and the decisions they make will feel bad about them if they knew what the right choice was.

The desire to have conversations with Jesus would be put forth as an intellectual exercise only. Those people would know that the answers they get would not fit in to the plans they have. They realize what those plans would look like when compared to the unconditional love, tolerance, religious and social activities that this man would suggest as the best course of action.
