What I Know to be True about Freedom: How to Access it

The one thing I have always liked about Jesus is His ability to bring peace, rest and life to people.  When Jesus showed up things changed...people who were depressed found hope.  Those who were sick became healed.  The religious were yanked out of system and brought into freedom.  Jesus always encouraged people to become something better. Of course they could then choose to go back into that old lifestyle....and many did....but at least Jesus showed them that there is something greater than what they were living.  By better, I am not talking about success and being a better person, but being more like Jesus.  maybe we should really take a fresh look at what we do and how we act.  Are we trying to become successful?  Are we trying to become better people in order to say that Christians are superior?  If that is our goal, then we are not really following the Kingdom way...in fact, we are just following the worldly way, the business way.  But I want to follow 'The Way' (The Way was the name that was given to Christians in the New Testament.  You can access this freedom by looking at your life daily and taking a true accounting of what you are doing, and how you are treating people.  Pray that God will show you not a better way but a 'Purer' way.
