Spirituality vs. Jesus

After looking at the Gospel vs. Religion, let's talk about Spirituality vs. Jesus:
  • Spirituality invites you to explore your inner self. Jesus invites you to explore his glory and forget yourself.
  • Spirituality invites you to find yourself. Jesus invites you to lose yourself.
  • Spirituality is a journey that ultimately results in you “saving” yourself. Following Jesus is a journey that begins when you stop trying to save yourself.
  • Spirituality leads to self-expression which results in self-fulfillment. Jesus calls you to die to yourself and find your fulfillment in him.
  • Spirituality begins when you resolve to “try harder”. Following Jesus begins when you give up.
  • Spirituality says you’re worth it. Jesus says that he’s worth it.
  • Spirituality allows you to take charge of your life. Jesus commands you to acknowledge him as King of your life.
  • Spiritual gurus dispense “wisdom”. Jesus saves sinners.
