Check Your Interface!
The proper interface is important for two entities to share information. For example, if you have a computer that lacks an 802.11 or 3G interface, you cannot access the internet wirelessly.
Every human being is equipped with what is commonly known as a conscience. Another term for this is “moral compass.” I like to think of it as a “wireless interface” or a radio receiver. Likewise, your internal receiver is always tuned – without change – to that frequency. I like to call it, “W-G-O-D!”
One of the failures of Christian evangelism is that its practitioners are little more than fire-insurance salesmen. Folks obtain salvation as a means to avoiding eternal hell but little more. The ultimate failure of religion is that it promises a pleasant afterlife without dealing with the present issues of the here-and-now.
Every other major religion of the world views Jesus as a great man. Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and others all call Jesus a “prophet” or a “holy man.” However, one of the characteristics of a “good,” “holy,” or “prophetic” man would have to be honesty. Consider the words of Jesus in John 10: 7-9:
7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Here, Jesus identifies Himself as an interface, calling Himself a door. It is interesting that He refers to Himself as a door, because a door is an interface to either another room in a building or a point of entry or exit to the building. Understand, though that without a hinge, a door is merely another type of wall. What made Jesus a door was the cross; the cross is the hinge!
As if that weren’t enough, Jesus puts the punctuation mark on His assertion in John 14:6:
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is not merely saying He is an interface; rather, He is the interface.
It is essential to understand interfaces because they often represent the gateway to something we are trying to achieve or receive.
Which begs the question, what is Jesus the interface to? Well, He clearly stated He is the door to salvation and the way, or interface, to the Father.
“But,” as they say in the infomercials, “wait, there’s more.”
Jesus said in John 10:10 that He “…is come that they (His followers) might have life and have it more abundantly.”
In other words, Jesus is the gateway not only to eternal life but to abundant life! This abundant life is only possible through the interface to proper relationship with the Creator; that is, God. And it is through this relationship that we find our purpose, receive our divine assignment, and fulfill our destiny.
Mankind cannot fully comprehend its purpose without a revelation springing forth from the mind of the Creator. And this type of revelation only comes from a holistic relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
So, if you are a disciple of Christ and you are not experiencing the abundant life promised you by the Word of God, or if you are among those who do not know Him but want to experience life to the full, check your interface!
