Gurus

April has just ended and with it our tulip blossoms fell to the ground. They faded away. They put on a beautiful display for the past six weeks.

Nowadays we have access to information more than ever before. The Church, the library, the newspaper or museum used to be places where we found information.

Now we have television, radio, I player, podcasts, utube, twitter, instagram and Facebook to choose from and they can be used twenty four hours a day. I haven’t time to take it all in.

The individual has so many choices to make about what he believes. He can follow someone on utube who is giving his slant on world affairs. Many such speakers have a following of young men and women who are looking for meaning in this confused world or someone to agree with. Such leaders become Gurus to their followers. These young people will often spend a lot of money to go and see their hero.

They don’t know the truth. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. His words have power and stand forever. From generation He guides those who follow and believe in him. He does not lie.

If you are seeking the truth with all your heart you will end up finding Jesus. You may spend many years following this person or another. Man will fail you.

1 Peter 1: 24 says

All men are like grass and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall but the Word of the Lord stands forever.
