Day 191 - What He Meant

There has been a massive almost insurmountable level of confusion when it comes to the relevance and significance of Jesus Christ. Instead of grasping his words and practicing them on the most small or minute of levels - the entire message as the totality of his words has become a sort of judgment point where "to know him" has become "to believe him" instead of "to know him" being "to live his message" - within that drawing the distinction between believing something is real vs. Actually applying it and seeing if it is real first-hand - e.g. many people believe smoking causes cancer as thats what been sold to them by the medical and pharmaceutical industry but almost no one has any first-hand knowledge or evidence that that is true - so within this drawing the distinction and picture that having faith or believing him(jesus) has become more emphasized than "knowing he's real and telling the truth through first hand experience and application of his words". Instead of living by, applying for ones self, and heding his words on a very personal and practical basis - people have been more focused on the story of Jesus himself and his relevance as a man as "the son of god" as a point of knowledge as if by just believing him or saying you believe in him(here again focusing more on his status instead of actual relevance) without applying his words is the most important component to "heding his message" instead of actually focusing on his words, what he really means in them, and how we can apply that real meaning on a personal and interpersonal basis. The beLIEf has become the fascination of our minds rather than " the real world application". This seems to have come to be because of the tendency for people to be more preoccupied with the fascinations of the mind instead of the tedious truth and nature of physical practicality.
