Jesus is the way to success!

 That's a phrase that's on Facebook and everyone is retweeting it and it has more likes than all of Shakira's spite songs.

And...Uhmmm... that post may earn you thousands of likes, but that phrase is not biblically correct. It is a progressive phrase, and it will depend on how you see success.

If success for you is heaven, OK the phrase is fine. If success for you is having your head taken off like John the Baptist, OK, Yes. If success for you is having your entire family hate and despise you, you're fine. If success for you is having your arm cut off or being burned like John Huss or being shot three times and thrown into a mass grave or having the church burned down with you inside like what happened to some brothers recently.

If all that means success to you - As it should - Then, yes, Jesus is the way to success. JESUS IS THE WAY TO THE FATHER, JESUS IS THE WAY TO HEAVEN and Jesus promised how horrible, if horrible, that way would be.

The disciples who followed Jesus, those whom Jesus told to their faces that he would always be with them, were criticized, fried in oil, burned alive, stabbed to death, one had his head cut off, another crucified face down. ..

  It is not a path of success from a human point of view. It is a path where IN THE END we have success. The most important and successful moment in Stephen's life was when he began to sing them one by one to the Pharisees and they stoned him to death and it was successful because it was what he had to do. Jesus told them that they hated him because he told the people that their works were bad and he did the same thing, that is, at that moment where Stephen was blaming all those people for their sins, at that moment Stephen was being like Jesus.

Today the super-wise pastors of today would call it a lack of love, empathy and wisdom, but biblically he was looking like Jesus and that is the greatest success you can have, looking like Jesus.

I usually laugh at people who sing with tears in their eyes "I want to be like Jesus♪♫", I laugh and I would just like to ask them: Are you willing to tell the mayor that he is a bitch? Are you willing to preach so biblical that people will say it's too strong and half the church will leave? Are you willing to tell false Christians IN PUBLIC that they are blind, children of hell and hypocrites at least 5 times in one sitting?

It's a lie, you don't want to be like Jesus!!! You just want to appear humble and spiritual, but every time you do something "so that people don't feel offended" you are rather denying the name of Jesus and even if you have a full church on the day of judgment, which is where it really goes. To demonstrate someone's success, Jesus himself will expose your failure publicly.

Joel Osteen is a success here on earth, largest church in America, lots of books sold, but he is the biggest heretic in America, but if he does not repent on Judgment Day he will be shown to be a great failure. Cash Luna, Guillermo Maldonado, Cesar Castellanos thousands admire them, they are a complete success, but on the day of judgment they, but if they do not repent, those who admire them and everyone will witness the great failure.

They are the ones who preach a successful gospel on earth.

Today a wrong gospel is offered just to attract people. Jesus never did it. HE always showed what it cost to follow Him and in fact he told them that no one should start a building without calculating the cost Luke 14: 25-33

Jesus never promoted the gospel as something easy, or cool where you are going to do well and achieve all your dreams, rather he made it very clear that if you want to follow him you must abandon your dreams and hate even your own life.

But if that kind of gospel is preached today the "pastors" would not have the crowds they hope to have, Jesus at one point lost a lot of followers because they said that Jesus' words were too strong that is why today modern preachers and pastors They must choose between preaching the true gospel and having the same result as Jesus (Being almost alone) or preaching a heretical gospel (like the little message that following Jesus leads to success) and filling churches.

Preach the true gospel and have modest things or preach the heretical and have a mansion, two BMWs and a Mercedes and a house on the beach...

It is difficult to choose, many have already chosen and I hope that you and I choose well because that will determine where we will spend eternity.
