Joyless v/s Joyful Fanatics

Jesus was certainly considered a fanatic by those Jews and to this day religious people would take Jesus’ message as fanatical, in fact they do. Today Jesus would be called a fanatic by 99 % of the existing churches because He said, He would build only one church, “…I will build My church…” (Matt. 16:18), He said there is only one way, “…No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6), He said, “…He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.” (John 11:25). To the point of the lesson, the overwhelming majority of “believers” who are literally fanatics about Jesus, praising Him everywhere they go, claiming unabashedly their love and devotion to Him, will one day see their joy turned to joylessness…
