Do you ever feel like there is something missing in your life or discover something has been there all along and you were aware, but you never grabbed a good hold of it because you were afraid? Afraid of how it may change you and what people will think of that change even if it is positive?

I've been a Christian all my life, always believed in God and Jesus is God's son and Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Isn't that all we have to believe to go to heaven or call ourselves Christians? Sure, those things are easy to say and believe, or to some it may not be and need answers, but what about it being more than just believing those words because we learned them in Sunday school class or in the sermons given by our pastors on Easter Sunday and Christmas? What about understanding why they happened? Okay, so we think Jesus came to Earth and was born and that is why we celebrate Christmas and Jesus died on the cross and rose again so we may have eternal life in heaven and that is why we celebrate Easter. It is so easy to just say, "Jesus is the reason for the season," and by saying that, everyone assumes you are a Christian, right? Some of us celebrate when those days show up on our calendars and some of us share the spirit all year 'round by following Christ. How do we really follow Christ? He is not physically here to walk behind and we cannot see Him. Why was He here all those years ago and now we cannot see Him? How do we know He is real? We are told, "You just have to believe." At least, that is what I've been telling people for years when they asked me. I found that I didn't know either.

If I am a Christian, how do I not know what to tell people when they ask about God and Jesus? Because I do not have the knowledge I should. The knowledge I gain from reading God's Word which is our Bible. Jesus is not here physically and that is why we have the Bible. When we have questions for Him, our answers are in His Word.
