It's not that deep. These fruits are examples of Christ because that's who he was. Mm-hmm. And that's what I also love too about Jesus Christ. It's like Jesus calls people out of the lifestyle they're living. He hung out with the sinners, the tax collectors, the people that the religious people were like, what are you doing? He hung out with those people.
But when the religious people came around, like there's a moment where Jesus has a dinner at Matthew's house with all these sinners and tax collectors. So the rich sinners, the guys that took advantage of their own people for money and selfish gain, the sinners, which would be the people that disobeyed the moral law, That's what they called the sinners in that time. He's hanging out with them.
And the religious people thought that the Messiah, the Savior of the world, that guy was going to be the guy that wouldn't hang out with those people. That was going to tell them to stop living, the pitchfork and sign. They thought the Messiah was going to be like pitchfork and sign, turn or burn kind of thing. But Jesus says that the healthy don't need a doctor, sick do.
And so when the religious people come around, you don't ever see Jesus going, yo, where's the back door? Let me get out of here. That's what I love about him. He's like, no, these are my people, man. Not because I approve of what they're doing, but how are they going to know what to do if I don't explain to them what they're doing is wrong? On top of that, how am I going to show them?
And that's the fruit of his life. It's like he shows us how to do it. And so that's why I love the church coming around your mom. Because they're not just telling her, hey, believe in Jesus or you're going to go to hell. They're actually showing them what Jesus has done in their life. Those people would not have shown up to your mom, I believe, if Jesus hadn't done something in their life.
if they didn't believe it.
Yeah, definitely. There is this negative connotation. For some reason, people think all atheists are immoral and not good people.
Yeah, for sure. And at the time that off camera kicking it with you and just chatting like, dude, you're a good dude. And the way that you've prioritized your family, I invited you to Chili's the other day. And you're like, dude, I got to hang with my family. I respect that. And I think that anyone can be a good person outside of Christianity.
But I think this is my challenge aside from being a good person. If you're living to be a good person, at some point, you're going to get tired.
Absolutely. Because I can't just work to be a good person forever. I mean, that's so draining. Because working to be a good person technically means showing unconditional love. But what's the strength of your unconditional love? Just your own willpower. And every human being's willpower decreases over time. The older you get or just from the morning, you're the sharpest in the morning.
And throughout your day, your willpower decreases. So it's like my motivating factor is not being a good person. It's loving Jesus and realizing... Because Jesus says, love God, love people. Quick summary. Love God, love people. Love your neighbor as yourself. It's not saying be selfish.
It's saying when you see yourself the way that God sees you, then you understand that God sees you just as valuable as every other human being. So it's easier to love and serve other people when you realize they have the same value as you. Not, well, the homeless man is worse than me because he's on the home and every homeless person is a beggar. We're always taught to turn away the homeless guy.
Everyone, that's how I was, like no offense to my parents, but that's how I was raised. Don't interact with the homeless guy. Don't give that guy five bucks. Every homeless guy begs. I've talked to plenty of homeless guys that don't want anything from me. Like seriously, it's super interesting. And so like seriously, like that's, it's like, I don't want to be drained.
And that's where I was drained when I came to my wits end of, I can't even fix the hole up my heart.
how could i work to please this god or reach enlightenment here this isn't that when it was like god did all the work for me and when i put my faith and trust in him and i trust that he really is god and what he says is true that motivates me his love for me what he did on the cross motivates me to turn away from these things and love people and serve people and love my enemies and pray for my enemies and things like that like like i had a bully from the fourth grade all through high school in christian school yeah he hated my guts for some reason i don't know why and then
He left our school and then dropped out and then got involved in gang stuff and was like just selling drugs and stabbing people and things like that and all this other stuff. And so anyways, I became a Christian. I was three months new and I had him on Snapchat and he had posted something about Islam, about how he claimed he was a Muslim now.
And so I just swiped up, hadn't talked to him in a long time. And I said, hey man, you should check out Jesus. And he starts cussing me out. And then I said, hey, let's just get lunch, man. Let's just catch up, see how you're doing. We can talk about this stuff if you want. He was so angry at me, Adam. He said, if you show up to lunch, I'm going to kill you.
Now, this meant a lot to me because I knew how he was living. And I knew this wasn't just some, oh, you know, he's going to kill me. Like, he wasn't living with his parents anymore. He was mobbing with gangs. And I was freaking out a little bit because I was like, this guy's going to hurt me. Well, I show up and we get there.
and he falls in my arms crying at him because he was lost and hurting and he was trying everything to do. And so I say that to say, how was I able to love my bully who bullied me from fourth grade through high school, never had a nice thing to say about me,
the time I reached out to him after he left our high school had even worse things to say about me to the point where he was like, I'll take your life for you. How was I able to do that? Definitely not on my own willpower, I don't think.
