experience

Many of the sports announcers are former players. Most of them were considered great, or the best of their time. Many political advisors are former politicians, and most of the news analysts are simply well experienced reporters. One thing they all have in common is that they are considered an "expert" in their field. Why? Because they have an intricate knowledge of the basic and advanced workings in their specific field of interest. Through their experience they have learned what works, what doesn't, and why. Most of the time, they are aware of the outcome of any given situation.
Jesus is a true expert of being human. He's lived on this earth, faced temptation, rejection, frustration, sorrow, anger, betrayal, sympathy, compassion, happiness, love, admiration, and devotion. Why then do we reject Jesus's words of wisdom? Are we destined to learn from our mistakes, or can we at least try to learn from those who lived before us? Can we take the advice from those who literally walked with Jesus and aspired to live as He did? They were just like you and I - HUMAN. If they could do great things with Jesus on their side and the Holy Spirit in their hearts, why can't we?
