A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

"It's not a museum for good people,
It's a hospital for the broken."
Love it.

I watched this video the day he put it on YouTube. Here I am 11 years later rewatching it.

10 years ago I remember watching this as someone who hated God. For whatever reason I watched this over and over, and this video was in the back of my mind for years. Fast forward to today, and I have a personal relationship with Jesus. God used you and planted a seed. Truly incredible.

[keanupersad]

Believe it or not, this video sowed a seed in my life and now I'm born again..All praise to Christ🙏🏼

Saw this as a senior in high school in 2012. Born and raised catholic, became an atheist in high school, and after that I was deep in new age in my early 20s. Jesus saved me at 25 years old. This video is a reminder that He was after me all those years.

[benjaminlura]

I really needed this. I can love God because he first loved me but I absolutely Hate the religious ideology. It just stresses me out.

[Querida]

It's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken. That's so true

"church's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken" i love this one!

[jacobfuentiblanca]

"I was acting like church kid, while addicted to pornography"
so many people hits when this line comes up.

[javindean]

saw this back in 2013 and at 18 when i decided to leave the jehovahs witness religion i grew up in. Here i am 10 years later watching again. This video truly changed my life.

[AnthonyMorales]

Ten years later and this is just as powerful. Timeless.

[JproductionsG]

It’s amazing how God can change somebody. Years and years ago I watched this and was offended, it didn’t make sense. 5 years later I’ve lived it and am born again. I changed my dislike into a like.

[Imuetinyanosa]

I'm not religious. I'm in a relationship with Jesus Christ ❤ He saved my life

[lianarosario]

“Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography.” That got me so good, right in the very core of my soul. I love this!, that’s another like for you, Brother!

[onlythetruth_]

Every so often I come back to watch this, and every single time, I cry.

[threatlevelmidnight]

"Religion says 'Do'. Jesus says 'Done'". That was powerful.

[leonscott]

This is like a Christian's perfect poem for the 21st century. When my friends ask, "Are you religious?" I always so no, that I am a Christian. I don't see my faith as a religion, I see it as my life, its who I am not what I try to be

[ekonomixx]

Such a timeless word. Every syllable rings true to this day.

[lillydunkelbarger]

I remember hysterically crying watching this as a 7 year old when it first came out out. Feeling so many emotions I could not put into words. So many things I felt after my mom had me (not sent me but I went with friend after school) to church for the first time. I felt rejected at church my first time. At SEVEN YEARS OLD. I felt ashamed even as bisexual girl who’s mostly attracted to men. The “religious” narrative was a man and a women. As a child I knew nothing different but what I had pictured in my brain. After church it was clear that was not “normal” at ALL. and it was very clear to my father and he played this video to me to show that the Bible is what you make of it. It is not to make you. It’s a guideline. NOT a rule book. At 19 years old listening I have the same reaction. Although my dad’s not in my life and God knows that, I pray that my dad knows he leaded me heavily through my relationship with god✝️

I have been struggling recently with my relationship with Christ and fell into new age practices. I struggled trying to be fulfilled on the inside and I realized that nothing else in this world can fulfill me like Christ. Jesus just spoke to me in this video letting me know that he is not religion but he is love. I am a believer again❤️ love for all my brothers and sisters
