When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
βIf Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?β
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
βWhy would God become weak?β
The real question is:
βWhat kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?β
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
Iβve learned that the true strength of a marriage is most clearly seen in suffering. Fun is wonderful, laughter is a gift, sex is a blessing from God, and sunny days/date nights are reasons to give thanks but the way your spouse responds in the hard times will reveal more than almost anything else.
Politics are important, but listen to me: Politics cannot fix what politics did not break.
And Mankind was broken long before any political system.
Only a return to Jesus Christ who can reach inside the chests of men and give them new and living hearts of love, worship, and humility can save any person, any family, and any society.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
βAnd for the first time in my life, I slept. I mean really slept. No panic, no fear, no gnawing dread of the void. I had peace.β
Incredible testimony. β€οΈ
Truly blessed to have played for Murray State. Wish I had the chance to finish my last year but still have so much love for this place! Thankful for everything! Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
