What does Jesus mean to
you?
Cardinal Newman once asked his congregation to ponder on what Jesus meant to them, and what difference being a Christian made in the way they lived their daily lives.
He asked:
‘Is it the case that there is nothing we resolved, nothing we do or do not do, nothing we give up or take up which we would not resolve, or do or omit, or avoid, or choose, or give up if Jesus had not died and if heaven were not promised us?’
‘I really fear,’ he went on ‘that most of those who call themselves Christians, would go on almost as they do, if they believed Christianity to be nothing more than a fable’.
