Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. I looked back in my last post. If I look back even further to my conversion, I saw how I came upon Jesus, found him attractive, and accepted him as Lord and Saviour. Over the many years, it was I who was reluctant to go all out to follow him. He remains forever the same; so, basically, we ourselves determine how much benefit we receive from following him. (We reap what we sow.)
Now that I have willed to go all the way and started tasting the sweet fruit of the spiritual life, I can tell you without a doubt that Jesus is exactly what he claimed to be ~ you needn't look for another. He warned us that after him there would come many false prophets. He had already revealed to us all the truths we need to know. To look for any other who claims to have received new revelations from God amounts to rejecting God.
