2 Minute Question #1

Alright, so we are preparing to go on our next mission to the Netherlands, where we will be sharing our faith to high school kids and trying to answer any questions they might have about the faith. These 2 minute questions are typical questions that are often asked, and as an excercise to prepare for the mission we are to answer these questions in a short, but concrete way within 2 minutes. (concrete, is the european word of the year that everyone uses over here)



1. How do I meet Jesus?

Ask him. Ask him to reveal himself to you, and he will. Ask him to open your heart, and he will. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will opened to you.” God wants us to know how much he truly loves us.
So pretty much, the first step in meeting Jesus would be to ask. Then, I would suggest taking a moment of silence. Go to a place that is quiet, maybe your room or even a church, anywhere you would like, and then talk to God. Talk to him knowing that he is there listening you. Tell him anything, or tell him everything, and then most import let him speak to you. For God speaks the loudest in the silence of our hearts.



2. Why should I listen to the Pope?

Truth! First, I would try to see what the Pope is saying, and observe for yourself to see if what the Pope is saying sounds right, to see if what he is saying sounds good, or sounds bad, but most of all, to see if what Pope is saying sounds in accordance to Truth. As human beings, we were made for the Truth. I listen to the Pope because I believe he is speaking under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the source of all Truth.
