I just finished a book, Philosophy of Jesus by Peter Kreeft and I enjoyed it tremendously. I did not agree with some of Catholic philosophy that did not play into the book until the end, as in transubstiation, but otherwise very good.
Dr. Kreeft makes great points all the way throughout his book in regards to Jesus' view of metaphysics, epistemology, anthropology and ethics. It is written very simply with a very simple answer. . . Jesus. Christ is the ultimate end to metaphysics, epistemology, anthropology and ethics.
People today tend focus more on certain issues rather then the end to all those issues. If we were leading people to Christ many of the issues would in the end disappear. Just read about any revival that has happened in the world, and you will see the towns completely changed as the people came to realize Christ as Savior. Alcoholism, drug addiction, teen pregnancy, abortion, and pornography would all either be completely eliminated or would reduce drastically. In the end, leading people to Christ is the ultimate end; Christ is the answer.
If we are not reading the Bible, praying and growing in Him, then how will we be able to teach, model and lead others to Christ. If we are not living like Christ is the answer, then how can we expect others to as well? Do we live as He is the answer to our outlook in life and in all our choices? If not, why not? If we are His followers then should we not be living for Him?
Let's start living as Christ is the answer!
