Messiah and Buddha

Secrets of the Light
Buddhism is named after its founder. But Buddha's real name was Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian nobleman, who found himself dissatisfied with life. He sought fulfillment in sensuality, and then self-denial. One day he claimed to discover that neither was the real answer but something in the middle; the middle path, thus Buddhism. Buddha means the enlightened one. His followers refer to most religious leaders and founders as enlightened ones, Buddha's people who have seen the light. But Messiah Yeshua did not come as a Buddha. He's not an enlightened one. He's the Light and that's a big difference. He doesn't seek for light; He gives us light. His whole life is light. That means that Buddha is not a real Buddhist. Because only those who truly know the Light of Messiah can be truly enlightened. It's a high honor knowing Messiah, the Light. You can never know him enough. Spend time in His presence, because He's the True Light. The more you know Him, the more truly enlightened you become. And that's better than Buddha.

Today's Mission
Spend time in the light of Messiah's presence today. Let His light dispel all darkness and enlighten you.

Ephesians 1:18
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
Love, Lizzy
