The part from the book: 33 meditations by the author Tomislav Ivančić
Jesus Christ – The possibility of versatile freedom
The couse of the meditation: Deeply collect yourself and commit completely to communicating with Jesus. Get rid of all worries, sins, distractions. Calm down, relax and say slowly: JESUS, I WANT TO MEET YOU. Jesus has a body, but it has the qualities of the spirit, it is resurrected. That is why you can talk to Jesus in spirit. But ask him to give you his Spirit, to heal and free your spirit, so that you can hear Jesus and love him. Be aware: Jesus loves you, he wants to be with you, he is all there for you. Surrender to that truth and you will experience the nearness and freedom of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is a unique person of human history. He performed countless miraculous deeds, healed everyone, healed the mentally ill, drove evil spirits from people, revived the dead, changed nature and made it obedient to man, changed people’s hearts, spoke like no one spoke, went around doing good, took upon himself the guilt of all people, rose from the dead and still lives, ascended to heaven, created the largest organization in the world – the Church, said that he came from God, that he is the Son of God.
The history of mankind knows no one like him on Earth. The founders of religions were only people, earthly, limited. They have created only some religious methods or an organization that transmits their teachings. Philosophers cannot change the world, because knowledge alone is not enough. Generals, politicians, scientists, professors, the rich, are powerless in the face of the evil of the world. All he people are from below. Jesus is coming from above. All people are locked in a vicious circle of sin and earthly life. Only Jesus is free, outside that circle, almighty. Jesus is, therefore, a unique person in the world. Isnt’he the only one we all long for in our depths? History has registered his coming and his words and deeds among us. He is one of the great men of Israel. The Church and Christianity build their existence on it. Many people who believed in him did deeds like him.
We need, therefore, to know that Jesus. To start reading the New Testament throughly.
