What is Christianity?
“Is it My way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?”—Ezekiel 18:25
Some Christians assume that Christianity is like taking a course in school. There are several tests in this course, and they think their final grade is the average of all their tests. However, the Lord doesn’t average our lives. If we are not faithful to the Lord till death, all our “good scores” count for nothing (see Ezekiel 18:24). Many say: “The Lord’s way is not fair”, but that’s because they haven’t accepted Christianity as a living relationship with Christ.
Some people even think that God grades on a curve, that if they’re less sinful than the average person, that will be acceptable to God. Yet Jesus also ruined that theory when He taught: “I tell you, unless your holiness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees you shall not enter the kingdom of God” (Matt. 5:20). Because the Pharisees were considered to be very holy people, Jesus was saying that we will not enter God’s kingdom unless our holiness surpasses those far above average. In effect, the Lord is calling us to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matt. 5:48).
Therefore, we can never “make the grade” in Christianity. Living for Christ is humanly impossible and can only be lived through Him, with Him, and in Him.

Holy Week Resource for Teens The Office of Youth Ministry will be publishing, Walking the Way a Holy Week Journal for Teens. This resource has been developed for youth aged 13-16 in mind. The journal bridges the Gospel readings for each day of Holy Week to practical ways young people can live out the message. The journal also has reflections from Pope Francis’ letter, Chistus Vivit for young people to consider. The Holy Week Journal can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/yyxvxwyj
