Comedian Rob Schneider Discovers Jesus, Forgiveness: "I Needed...to Be Home'

I am really amazed at how God speaks to His children.

One of my fave actors in Hollywood has now accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.

He said, we have an amazing faith, or just say "religion" compared to others 

as instead of hating, killing each other, we are asked to LOVE ONE ANOTHER

and even LOVE OUR ENEMIES.

How cool is that?

I am not perfect. And yes, honestly, I can never love all my enemies.

But with Jesus by my side, He will fix my heart for Him.

So I can live like Him in this world.

Tough?

Let's see how it goes.

Comedian Rob Schneider is increasingly speaking about his faith, heralding the importance of forming a foundation in God and forgiving others. "Jesus only lets you stray so much," Schneider recently told CBN News of his decision to re-embrace the faith he once found as a teenager. "I think, at a certain point, He grabbed me again and hugged me." The "Saturday Night Live" alum, who stars in a new Bentkey cartoon called "Chip Chilla," went on to describe what he sees as an inherent beauty in Christianity — a faith he believes is predicated upon true goodness. "There are other religions out there that say, 'Well, kill your enemy; hate your enemy,'" Schneider said. "And we have a religion that says, 'Love your enemy, love thy neighbor as thyself ... love others.' What a beautiful way to go through life." The actor also reflected on the need to forgive. "If I am going to lead my life and be an example, as Christ compels us to do, then I have to do it," Schneider continued. "Even if it hurts, even if it stretches how I used to feel ... and, once you forgive, the beautiful thing about forgiveness is ... you end up feeling better." "The Animal" star's return to faith is notable, as he recalled being so devoted to Christianity as a teenager that he "would have dreams of Jesus Christ." Over time, though, he drifted. "I did — like many Christians do — stray," Schneider said. "But there was a continuing pull back, knowing where I needed to be and to be home." He continued, "And then [a] very, very strange confluence of things. I married a Catholic, and she was very patient with me, and she's been the greatest thing that's ever happened to me." This factor mixed with a project about the Shroud of Turin, among other happenings, started pushing Schneider to think deeper about his faith roots. In the end, he said he could no longer ignore it.
