His pictures were on the wall, and he lived 2,000 years ago. In high school I began to question that, and found out who Jesus is for me. Eventually, I saw him more as a historical figure and as the person whom God had chosen to lead everyone back to him. I maintain my Methodist religion based on what I learned growing up in church. I never had any outside opinions until high school.
Many fortunate people stay in the questioning stage all their lives.
On the other hand, when you find an answer for yourself, you have a sense of security knowing that you ve reached it for yourself. Freshman year in high school I had a huge tragedy in my life. My brother passed away, killed by a drunk driver. That turned my life around. I confined myself to my room looking for answers.
