Jesus and Buddha

Jesus and Buddha…

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 Jesus, Yeshua did not come as a Buddha. He’s not an enlightened one. He is the Light, and that’s a big difference. He doesn’t seek 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 Jesus can be truly enlightened. It’s a high honor knowing Jesus, 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.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people. Ephesians 1:18

Spend time in the light of Jesus’s presence today. Let His light dispel all darkness and enlighten you.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
