Life through the eyes of Christ

Life they say is like a box of chocolates, you do not know what to expect. Life they say is like a trend, constantly changing without end. But in reality, life is broader than that. Life is really unexplainable, even by the greatest of the minds that have walked in this planet. It differs from one person to the other. But there is one person who simplified the meaning of life for us. He told us the true meaning of life. . He is also the greatest person to have ever walked this world and to this day, there is no account of a person who could ever match his greatness. That man is Jesus. He is the man who made life’s meaning simpler.

For Jesus, there is only one true meaning of life. It revolves around this single definition. You may neglect any element from your life except this single word. For him, life is all about love. It is summed up in loving others and loving God. Jesus said that in order for us to live our lives to the fullest, then we should live it with love. Remove all the unnecessary things but not love. For it is also written in the bible that, “Faith, hope and love remains, these three, but the greatest is love”.

Jesus also thought us the right way to love others. He said that in order for you to live your life fully with love, you need to express love by giving and not receiving. You also need to place your trust in God and in others with all your heart and you should not doubt their presence. Jesus clearly showed us that example during his days in earth. He made his life the greatest example of how we should live our live. “Observe how he loved us. It was not cautious and but extravagant. He did not love in order to get something from others but to give everything of himself to others.” Jesus love that way. That fact can be clearly seen from the way he loved his disciples, especially Judas. Because since the time that Jesus had met Judas, Jesus already knew that Judas would be the one who would betray him. Yet that did not stop Jesus from loving him just as he loved his other disciples. He did not even made precautionary measures but rather, he treated him as he treated his other apostles.

What a wonderful way to live life; full of trust and love for others, even though you know that you would get hurt eventually. And that is the wonder of love. You could over come all the pain and suffering. It would help you to bear them. And do always remember that no matter what pains and suffering you experience, if you bear it with love you would eventually grow from it, one way or the other. For they say that “Life is not life without the trials that sharpens it.” For they also say that “In the end there are only three things that matter; How much you have loved, How fully you have lived and How graceful you have let go of the things that are not meant for you.” For the true meaning of life is love. If everybody would live this way then there is no doubt that this place would be a haven for all. Love, love more and love even more. For it is not for love, there would not be life in the first place.
