Jesus When Jesus say's, " Come to me," He doesn't say come to religion, a system, or to a certain doctrine. This is a very personal invitation to God , an invitation to the savior. In essence, Christianity is nothing more , nothing less than a desire and an effort to see Jesus. That's all it is. We're trying to catch a glimpse of a man, not a program, not a plan not a system, not a doctrine. We're trying to see a man who called Him- self the son of God. Our God is not aloof- He's not so far above us that He can't see and understand our problems. Jesus isn't a God who stayed on the mountain top- He's a savior who came down and lived and worked with the people. Every- where He went, the crowds followed, drawn together by the magnet that was and is the savior. The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of
life in a dark world.
