Unique and Accepted

As humans, we are all unique beings. When we need specific individuality, there are finger prints and retina scans that are not duplicated in other humans. Yes, we are quite unique. We also share a similar uniqueness. Almost always each person in in born with and will grow into a body that has similar organs with other humans, however we are still unique to a degree in this. In some areas of the body, certain organs exist, but they may not be in the same place as other people, one surgeon mentioned, “we need to find the actual location of that piece of the puzzle.” Bone fractures and flesh wounds that heal can also alter the specific locations of certain organs. Beyond the shielded internal, most people go through a period in life when they are attempting to “figure out” what they want to display as their outward appearance. This is an attempt to gain acceptance of and encouragement from some other groups of people they consider important. This importance ranges across all aspect of a person’s life, from physical to mental to spiritual abilities. As far as being unique, there has never been a person so unique as Jesus Christ. For those whose parents are from mixed races, Jesus was part human and part pure spirit. So far as physical abilities, he was a builder, who worked hard and later required little sleep. So far as knowledge, at age 12, he amazed seasoned scholars at the epicenter of Judaism in Jerusalem. Jesus also went through a period of deciding how He wanted to live His life. When He decided to follow God’s plan for Him, He faced severe testing and temptation, by His major opponent, Satan. Jesus decided that being accepted by the Father was more important than anything surrounding Him on earth. Jesus had observed, and knew that considering the Father’s desires as most important would not come with acceptance, but cause others to completely reject Him. This was not an ignorance, it was an active rejection by some He help dear, such as His siblings. He told His disciples, “Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.” “Truly I tell you,” said Jesus, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life (Mk. 10:28-30). At some point in our lives, we must come to the point in which we choose what is most important to us, or by whom we want to be rejected: other people or God. For those who accept Jesus sacrifice, the indwelling Holy Spirit is always there to prompt us toward the decisions we must make, but He will not make those decisions for us.
