If every ones voice is the same, how would change come? Jesus Christ brought a different voice into our world and change us forever. He said in Matthew 22:37-39 "And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus Christ had tremendous power and he still does, and he came to us not as a tyrant, but as someone who loves us. His voice was different from all the powerful people in the land.
How different is the world from Jesus Christ? In our culture we still idolize the physically mighty men over the wise. We still highly value the material over the spiritual. Riches on earth our main goal rather than riches in heaven. Our eyes and mind are not upon God but upon ourselves. Its like we are the same people that Jesus Christ was preaching to in his day. Our voices sounding more like theirs, than that of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came to bring a different voice into our world, so to change it. As we can see, if our voices do not change, our world will stay the same.
Jesus said in John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." Why do we listen to him? John 4:13,14 "Jesus said to her,"Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." His words bring satisfaction to our souls. We were thirsty, we hungered for something that was missing from our lives. In Jesus Christ, we found that something. His words quenched our thirst and brought life to our lost soul.
Jesus Christ's brought a different sound to our world, a sound of hope. He freed us from death to give us eternal life. He open our eyes to the lies and brought us truth. In a world filled with hate and violence, he told and show us how to love. Jesus Christ stood against all that is wrong with our world and conquered it with his love. His voice gentle but powerful. His words humble and strong. The voice of Jesus Christ are his words and they will be with us forever, in our minds and in our hearts. His is a different voice, so to bring about a different world, filled with righteousness and love.
