Odd title, isn’t it? Well, sometimes I think we get so caught up in the “religion” part of the Believer’s life, that we forget the “Person” whom it is centered around – the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our true identity.
I saw this video in my FaceBook feed one day and knew that it had to be shared with you too! There are many videos like it on YouTube, but this one says it best! Below is the description that the author wrote on YouTube about his poem. Through this video, I hope that you are challenged to walk closer to the Lord and represent Him in everything that you do.

“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.”
