Xp is so amazing. sometimes i read things and i just can't believe it. take for instance this chapter. Xp does a lot of great things, plenty of miracles, and even calms a storm. but i'm just blown away how Xp is human but is God at the same time. what amazes me is that this person comes up to Xp and says he will follow Xp. Xp then tells him basically that to follow Him, the man is going to be homeless. and then the man says ok, just let me go bury my dead dad. and Xp says, no follow me, someone else will bury your dad.
absolutely amazing. i mean here is a person ready and willing to follow Xp, and Xp lets him know about the struggles ahead. the man is ok with that, all he needs is to attend his fathers funeral. this is why i'm amazed. if i have anyone following me, even caring what i'm saying i'm estactic. i check blog hits and all kinds of stuff. and Xp says you know what, if you want to come, come, but you need to be the kind of person i want with me.
Xp doesn't just want numbers, and He doesn't just want anyone, He wants people committed to Him and Him only.
