Jesus came for “ME.” Not “I” but “ME.”

“ME” is soul. My soul is the point, the very first moment, of consciousness or awareness of life, before any perception, before any actual sensory experience. Never seen, always present but largely unrecognized, my soul is nothing that “I” am.

Everything “I” am is worldly. “I” is created. Just as all that I see, hear, touch, smell and taste was created. Of course, all that is created has a beginning and an ending. And in the middle is entropy, that gradual process of deterioration and decay. Death!

My soul, “ME,” was not created. No entropy, no decay. No death! Scriptures say God knew me before the world was created. So “ME” was before creation.

“I” struggles to understand and control this existence. “I” serves my senses. “I” fights death everyday. “I” is inevitably exhausted. “I” is fighting a losing battle.

Jesus had a different message, a new vision. I accept Jesus and his message. His message was for “ME.” His message was the message of salvation.

His vision was simple! Love God with all your heart (emotions), mind (belief) and soul (“ME”) and your neighbor as yourself. Notice He said nothing of living from our senses, nothing of doing or accomplishing anything.

Let’s see. “ME” is beyond perceptual experience. Therefore, “ME” doesn’t see difference only similarities, soul-to-soul relationship, Unity. “ME” doesn’t put my faith in anything that “I” perceives. After all, all things perceptual are relative. They deteriorate, decay and die.

The more I live from “ME” the more I embrace Jesus and the more I love. It has to be so. For “ME” there is only love. There is nothing to fear. There is only love.

As I live beyond my senses I find greater intimacy with God. You might say I “know” Him more. And as I know Him better I have greater intimacy with others. And as I have greater intimacy with Him and others then I “know” myself better.

Of course, it works the other way too. If I “know” myself better I’ll “know” Him better and I’ll have greater intimacy with others. Or if I can love others more I’ll “know” Him more and myself too. See it’s all about the soul, it’s about “ME.”

Jesus came for “ME.” Jesus loves “ME.” Salvation is through accepting the vision of Jesus for “ME.” What a savior!
