In the Bible, Jesus is described as "The Word". In the Quran, Jesus (Isa) is attributed as "Kalimatullah" and readers are encouraged to obey him. In the Gospel, or Injil, it is said he is the bread of life, so if you're looking for life, maybe you should find out more. Here are some texts from "The Word" in small digestible bits. The questions are intended to dig deeper.

Madmen

Matthew 8:28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?" 30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs." 32 He said to them, "Go!" So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

Who are the demon possessed among us? These men were angry, frightening and violent - nobody would go near them. Would you be prepared to see your precious possesions used to redeem them? Or would you say that they are not deserving of it - use my wealth to heal somebody who is at least nice. If you are with Jesus, the demon posessed are healed.

Matthew 8:18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." 20 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." 21 Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." 22 But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." 23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" 26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. 27 The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

There are many who want to follow Jesus until they realise how much it will cost. Has someone mis-represented the journey for you - told you that it will be all roses? Jesus does not hide any truth about himself - it is not going to be an easy journey. You can only follow if you realise that 'you' are unable to calm the storm. The journey is spectacularly scary.
