Jesus tests obedience. Protestantism compromises. “Believing in God should not keep us from enjoying life! We don’t like abortion, but our denominations think it’s all right to use abortion-inducing birth control.”
Good and evil are as different as obeying and disobeying God. Jesus tests obedience. Between John 6:33 and John 6:66. Jesus spoke firmly to the crowd that eagerly followed Him after His “Free Food for the Multitude” miracle.
He repeated twelve times: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
The crowd was offended. “This is hard!” Then, those early Protestants left Jesus. They didn’t want that kind of food!
“We like a lot of what Jesus said. But, ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.‘ is too hard! We wish He would have said it was ‘allegorical’ or ‘symbolic’! But, He wouldn’t say that, even when we were leaving Him. Who does He think He is?”
His obedient followers remained. Jesus tests obedience. They passed His Great Test of Faith! They received His Actual Body and Blood at The Last Supper. They had “life in” their souls that elevated their spirits, minds, and bodies.
Not a single person in all of Protestantism takes Jesus seriously enough to obey His repeated instruction “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Protestantism is the institutionalized refusal to obey Jesus. Protestantism avoids what is necessary to receive His Actual Body and Blood. Protestantism rejects The Only Church Jesus Founded when He Decreed to one man, one time:
“. . I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven. . .”
Jesus tests obedience. We pray that our beloved neighbors will pass His test and have access to the only “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” that Jesus left on earth!
