Last week in class we discussed textual criticism but the thing that stuck with me was the question Sarah left us with; "Are you following Christianity (the form) of Christ the Messiah?" This is a very cutting question. I believe that many times we loose sight of what we are living for and why we are here. Many churches enforce rules and regulations of what it looks like for people to be Christian. But is it the rules of man that we should be following and abiding by or the desire of our Savior? My hope for us would be that we wouldn't worry about the rules of the world but that we would strive to follow the path that Christ has set before us. Even though it may be difficult at times in the end it will be worth the fight that we have put forth and we will be rewarded for our hardships that we have felt throughout our lives here on earth. That for me is a hope that makes me strive to live for Christ and not for the rules that man has created for what it looks like to be a part of Christianity.
