REAL Word Brandon Jubar

As Christians, we’re comforted by God's promise of personal restoration and guidance, and by the promise that in Christ, death is transformed from an end into the beginning of eternal life. However, these promises hinge on the authenticity of our belief. To be true believers, our faith has to be a living, active force demonstrated through unselfish service to those most in need. Embracing this challenge means understanding that our actions towards the least in society are direct services to Jesus. It’s in the selfless giving, the compassionate action, and the humble service that our true belief is revealed. In living out this commitment to service, we embody what it means to be true disciples of Christ!

As Christians, we know that true virtue is more than our deeds; it’s the very essence of our character. Coupled with this understanding is the perspective of living in the present as if we’ve already stepped into the future. It’s about embodying the values of that future today by actively engaging with the gifts God has blessed us with. We aren’t passive recipients, we’re stewards called to cultivate, grow, and use those gifts to enrich our lives and the lives of others. This path demands courage, commitment, and a heart that’s open to the endless possibilities that come with living our faith out loud!

As Christians, we should keep in mind a few truths: first, we've gotta chase after wisdom because it isn't just handed to us; second, saying goodbye to someone who has died isn't forever, because in Christ, we have a sure hope of getting back together again; and third, we must stay ready in our faith, because it's not something we can just pick up from someone else when we need it. All these pieces fit together to remind us that living a life of faith means being proactive, not sitting around waiting for things to happen. This journey of faith requires us to make the choice, every single day, to be ready—ready for whatever comes our way, and especially ready for the moment we meet Jesus face to face!

Spiritual leaders are called to help us navigate our journey of faith, guiding us with unquestionable integrity. But their task is more than vocalizing beliefs - it’s about allowing the divine word to come alive, taking our faith to the next level. The key to great faith leadership is quietly demonstrating the ability to walk the walk by humbly living each day as a testament to your convictions. And along this journey of faith, the quiet but confident steps of authenticity and humility are the ones that truly echo in the hearts of others!

When Christ described the law, he called us to a deep compassion and empathy, urging us to see beyond rules and to embrace love as the true essence of our faith. St. Paul's teachings shine a light on how a sincere imitation of Christ can become a beacon of hope and an honest form of evangelization. Yet, the most profound revelation is the interconnectedness of our love for God and for our fellow human beings. When we fully grasp that, then we’ll understand that every act of kindness, every gesture of love towards another, is simultaneously an act of devotion to the Lord. When we truly take this to heart, we recognize that in genuine love, we encounter the very presence of the divine!

As Christians, we know that God’s wisdom transcends human understanding, guiding us to see the divine in the unexpected. By anchoring ourselves in faith and conviction, we can begin to fill our lives with hope, love, and the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit. And as we continue along our journey of faith, we’re reminded of the delicate balance we have to maintain between our spiritual and our earthly callings. Our challenge is to find a way to balance our worldly responsibilities with a deep devotion to the divine. If we can find that balance, we’ll be better able to share Jesus’ “wisdom and love” in truly authentic ways!
