Religious Person Or Humble Follower of Jesus
When Jesus comes into our lives and starts to work through us, it is this time to understand that it is Him doing all the work and not ourselves.

Living For The Flesh Or God?
Earlier, I mentioned a portion of the story of the prodigal son. This is because we are all like him at one time in our lives.
Follow Jesus And Not Prophets
Since Jesus is our mediator to the Father we can come to Him specifically in prayer, and no longer have to go through a man any longer for answers.

Jacob Blessed Judah
While Jesus was on earth, he rode on an ass into Jerusalem, as it was prophesied of. All people will one day bow down to and worship the Lord God, if not in this life, but in judgement.
The Angel Of The Lord Redeemed Jacob
In knowing that Jesus is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and all the prophets of the Old Testament, this puts Him as more than just a man but God.
