?advice

Years ago, there was lady by the name of Billie Burke who was a famous actress. On one occasion, she was traveling across the ocean on a ship when she noticed that a gentleman at the next table was suffering from a bad head cold. She asked him, "Are you uncomfortable?" The man nodded.
She said, "I'll tell you just what to do about it. Go back to your room and drink lots of orange juice. Take two aspirins. Cover yourself with all the blankets you can find. Sweat the cold out. I know just what I'm talking about. I'm Billie Burke from Hollywood."

The man smiled and said, "Thanks." Then he added, "By the way, I'm Dr. Mayo from the Mayo Clinic."

I don't know about you, but when it comes to medical matters, I would prefer to take the advice of an esteemed doctor over that of a famous actress. Likewise, when it comes to spiritual matters, we have a choice.

We can look to celebrities. We can look to those we regard as "wise." We can look to the stars (astrology). We can even look to the angels. Or we can look to Jesus Christ. It shouldn't be a difficult choice.

Jesus Christ is superior in every way. He is the Son of God, the Lord of lords and King of kings. He is God. He creates, sustains, governs, redeems and cleanses us of sin. He is the one to be worshiped by the angels and all the other creatures of the universe. He is omniscient, omnipotent, unchanging and eternal. 

Why would you look anywhere else?

Jesus said to him, 

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
